Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) is a native, perennial warm-season grass commonly used as summer pasture. Three strains of switchgrass with different in vitro DM disappearance (IVDMD) values were evaluated with yearling cattle (Bos taurus) in three replicated grazing trials. All strains were similar in genetic background, maturity and yield potential. \u27Trailblazer\u27 (high-IVDMD) resulted in higher (P \u3c .05) ADG than \u27Pathfinder\u27 and \u27low-IVDMD\u27. Available forage of Trailblazer had higher IVDMD than Pathfinder and low-IVDMD. The IVDMD differences among strains were similar throughout the season; IVDMD declined between 0.3 and 0.5 percentage units per day. Forage availability, CP, NDF and ADF, permanganate lignin and ash we...
