Despite its immense potential as animal feed and its contribution to livestock production in sub-Saharan African countries, particularly Ethiopia, its utilization remains limited due to an inadequate supply of Urochloa cultivars and an insufficient genetic characterization of currently available genotypes. Hence, this study was conducted...
