Body
A literature review on the value of tropical grasses as foggage, during winter, is presented. The influence of climate on the choice of species and the management of the grasses, during the previous growing season, is described. More recent results on the use of Digitaria eriantha as foggage in the semi?arid regions of the Western Transvaal are given. It is clear from these results that Smuts finger grass can play an important role during the winter period as animal feed.
