DEHYDRATED grasses such as Coastal bermudagrass and Pearl millet represent potential xanthophyll sources for commercial poultry feeds. Coastal bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) is a hybrid characterized by upright growth, high leaf to stem ratio, rapid growth, fast regrowth after clipping, extremely good drouth resistance and good response to fertilization. It is a perennial grass established by sprigging and currently grown on about 6 million acres in southern and southeastern United States. Pearl millet (Pennisetum typhoides) is the highest yielding summer annual forage species adaptable to the same general area as Coastal bermudagrass. It is established by seeding and characterized by extremely fast growth, fast regrowth after clipping, good drouth resistance and high yields. The Gahi I hybrid used in this work was released in 1958 and is superior to older varieties in yield and response to fertilization. There is a paucity of published data on the pigmenting potency of degydrated Coastal . . .
