Abstract: Lack of information about hay forage quality of foxtail millet inbred lines has limited the development of foxtail millet as a forage crop. In this study, forty-seven foxtail millet landraces and improved cultivars were planted in north featured area of China for forage quality identification, frequency distributions of eight quality-related traits were characterized and outstanding lines were screened based on these results. For all the forty-seven accessions, rang of crude protein (CP) content was 5.42%–12.45%, with a CV of 14.25; rang of crude fat (CFa) content was 0.64%–1.43%, with a CV of 15.84; rang of crude ash (CA) content was 8.5%–15.6%, with a CV of 13.71; rang of total phosphorus (TP) content was 0.10%–0.32%, with a CV of 20; range of calcium (Ca) content was 0.27%–0.67%, with a CV of 20. Crude fiber (CF) content, nitrogen free extract (NFE) content and moisture (MC) content had a lower CV. According to our comprehensive analysis on these data, four lines Li05-569, Esilv, Xi295 and Honggengu were selected as the candidates for forage variety breeding of foxtail millet in the future
