However, to date, the approach adopted at various locations has depended on the scientists involved, the resources available and the ultimate aim of the evaluation. Although this has generated a lot of data, variation in evaluation methodology has precluded the comparison of results across sites. This manual outlines a standard evaluation methodology, which will enable researchers throughout the region to obtain meaningful results from their forage plant evaluation, whilst still allowing comparisons between sites. A companion manual, covering the evaluation of feed value (Osuji et al, 1993) has alreadyen
