Livestock is key component of Indian Agricultural. Forage crops are essential for feeding livestock and can be utilized in various forms, including forage, silage, and hay. Present investigation was carried out to study the effect of split application of nitrogen on kharif fodder sorghum. With specific targeted aim and objective an experiment on present experiment was conducted at Main Forage Research Station, AICRP on Forage Crops and utilization, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during a kharif season of 2023 with four levels of nitrogen (80,100,120 and 140 kg N/ha) and three different split (50% N at Basal + 50% N at 30 DAS (Common practices, 25% N at Basal + 50% N at 30 DAS + 25% N at 45 DAS and 25% N at Basal + 37.5% N at 30 DAS + 37.5% N at 45 DAS) there are total twelve treatment combinations and three replications. Application of 140 kg N/ha (N4) reported significantly higher dry matter digestibility (2.101%), relative feed value (95.72%) and relative feed quality (87.79%), whereas treatment N3 (120 kg N/ha) reported higher dry matter digestibility (58.90%) and total digestible nutrient (51.63%). Split application of nitrogen has significant response on quality parameters. Nitrogen applied through three equal split 25% N at Basal + 50% N at 30 DAS + 25% N at 45 DAS (S2) reported significantly higher dry matter intake (2.121%). Significantly the maximum dry matter digestibility (59.83%), total digestible nutrient (53.17%), relative feed value (98.32%) and relative feed quality (91.60%) were observed in treatment S3 (25% N at Basal + 37.5% N at 30 DAS + 37.5% N at 45 DAS).
