dc.description.abstract	Intercropping oat (Avena sativa) with different vetch species offers a promising strategy for sustainable and productive forage production. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of intercropping oat with different vetch species on yield, agronomic performance, chemical composition, and invitro gas production characteristics of forage. Field experiments were conducted during the main cropping season at two locations (Jimma and Shabe) in the Jimma Zone of Ethiopia, using a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Data collection included agronomic performance, dry matter yield (DMY), chemical composition (crude protein, NDF, ADF), and in vitro gas production. The results indicated that intercropping (p<0.05) significantly increased plant height and number of leaf per plant of oat	en_US
