This study, carried out in a rural area, at the grasscutter farm of Aheremou II (Taabo, Côte d'Ivoire) aims to determine the breeding performance of grasscutters and to test the effect of three grasses (Pennisetum purpureum, Rottboellia exaltata et Andropogon gayanus) on the growth of young female grasscutters. Each grass was tested on a group of 10 young female grasscutters. The temporary mating polygamous method was adopted. The results show that the breeding performance of this grasscutter farm was satisfactory: fertility (87.50 %), fecundity (315 %), prolificity (4.5). However, the reproduction rate (70 %) of the adult female grasscutters must be improved and the mortality rate (30.15 %) of the young grasscutters is very high. Forages of Pennisetum purpureum (12.14 g/d) and Rottboellia exaltata (11.55 g/d) give higher average daily gains (ADG) than Andropogon gayanus (8.83 g/d). Statistical analysis showed no significant difference (p > 0.05) between ADGs of the young female grasscutters fed with Pennisetum purpureum and those fed with Rottboellia exaltata. On the other hand, the statistical tests reveal that the ADGs of the young female grasscutters fed with Pennisetum purpureum and Rottboellia exaltata are significantly higher (p < 0.001) than the ADGs of those fed with Andropogon gayanus.
