This study was conducted to evaluate the dry matter yield and quality of mixture types with Festulolium braunii (Festuca pratensis Hubs.*Lolium multiflorum Lam.) as a forage sources. The experiment was arranged in a randomized block design with three mixture types: (1) Festulolium braunii (seeding rate, FB 50%)+orchardgrass (OG 50%), (2) Festulolium braunii (FB 80%)+red clover (RC 20%), and (3) Festulolium braunii (FB 20%)+orchardgrass (OG 50%)+tall fescue (TF 20%)+white clover (WC 10%) and four replications. This study carried out from Sep. 1995 to May 1998 at Chungnam University. Throughout this experiment, the dry matter yields and forage quality were observed. The DM yield of FB+RC mixtures was higher than that of other mixture types, but there were no significant difference among mixture types. The FB+RC mixtures was higher than the other iixture types in the CP content (P0.05). However, the NDF and ADF content of FB+RC mixtures were significantly lower than those of other mixture types (P0.05). The CP and DDM yields of FB+RC mixtures were higher than those of other mixture types (P0.05). In addition, the FB percentage of total herbage was ranged from 51% to 58% in all mixture types at the last cutting time in 1997. Based on the results mentioned above, it appears that FB has enough of possibility in mixture with other grasses, especially good mixed with RC.
