The goal of the study was to find and choose a more adaptable, higher-yielding forage type. A randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications was used to arrange the seven elephant grass varieties (16791, 16798, 16840, 16800, 16819, 15743, and local variety). The forage sample's biomass yield and all other agronomic characteristics were calculated, and statistical analysis was used to analysis the data. According to the findings, there was statistically significant (p0.01) difference in dry matter yield amongst elephant grass kinds. Elephant grass cultivars at highland and midland agro ecologies did not differ significantly (p>0.05) in terms of tillers per plant or leaf-to-stem ratio. Elephant grass cultivars 16791, 15743, and 16819 produced the maximum herbage dry matter yield. Under the study locations, these kinds are well suited and suitable as animal feeds. Therefore, it was suggested that livestock farmers use these three types of elephant grass as a source of feed to increase animal output in the study areas and other places with comparable agro ecology.
