Feed values of a local variety of adlay (Coix lachryma-jobi var. mayuen (Roman stape)) and Job's tears (C. lachryma-jobi L.) were compared with those of a sorghum-sudangrass hybrid (Pioneer 988) and a corn hybrid (Kwangok) at different growth stages. Crude protein content of adlay and Job's tears at flowering stage and that of sorghum-sudangrass hybrid at heading stage were similar. Crude protein content of the 1st cut forage was higher than that of the 2nd cut, although they were cut at the similar growth stages in all species. Crude protein of corn harvested at the yellow ripe stage was similar to that of the 2nd cut of adlay and Job's tears. Crude fiber, CWC, ADF, cellulose, lignin, and silica contents of adlay and Job's tears were higher1289but hemicellulose content was lower compared to those of corn. The in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) was greater in the order of corn sorghum-sudangrass hybrid Job's tears adlay and IVDMD of the 1st cut forages was higher than that of the 2nd
