Experiment was carried out at Surin Campus during July-October, 1992, to determine the yields and nutritive composition of 3 sorghum; Pearl Millet, Jumbo and UT 203 using with a RCBD arrangement of experiment. Each treatment was similarly administered as follows, 2x4 m2/plot, 3 kg of seed/rai, 3 tons/rai (farm manure), 30 kg/rai (46-0-0), 40 kg/rai (15-15-15). The first cutting of grasses were operated at 30 days. The 2nd and 3rd cutting of grasses were done every 21 days after the first cutting. The results demonstrated that dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, NDF and ADF yields of Pearl Millet were significantly greater than those of Jumbo and UT 203 (p0.01) respectively. The results indicate that Pearl Millet is a more suitable grasses to be introduced to farmers in Surin as compared with Jumbo and TU 203. It can provide a higher yield and a higher nutritive composition for ruminants
