Título em português: Valor nutritivo de genótipos de capim-elefante.  aThe objective of this work was to assess the nutritive value of four elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) genotypes. The chemical composition, intake by sheep, and digestibility of different genotypes (G1, G2, G3, and G4) were evaluated. A dry matter (DM) digestibility assay was performed with total leftovers and feces collected from 20 sheep kept in metabolic cages. G3 had lower DM intake in grams per animal per day compared with G1 and G2, and it had greater digestibility, crude protein, neutral detergent fiber, and acid detergent fiber values. G1, G2, and G4 have the best nutritive values among the evaluated genotypes.  aDigestibility  aRuminants  aConsumo  aDigestibilidade  aPennisetum purpureum  aRuminante  aIntake1 aFATURI, C.1 aRODRIGUES, L.
