MATCH FORAGE QUALITY WITH NUTRITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

2019-02-19 16:09:28| Cattle Today

Forage quality is determined by the amount of crude protein (CP), acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and energy (total digestible nutrients, TON) present in a specific forage type and species. Forage quality moves in a simultaneous direction with maturity and fertilization. As maturity increases, overall forage quality declines. At the same time as fertilization declines, crude protein levels decrease.
