Plant diversity effects on forage quality, yield and revenues of semi-natural grasslands
Nature Communications, 2020 In agricultural settings, plant diversity is often associated with low biomass yield and forage quality, while biodiversity experiments typically find the opposite. We address this controversy by assessing, over 1 year, plant diversity effects on biomass

Predicting Forage Quality of Grasslands Using UAV-Borne Imaging Spectroscopy
Remote Sensing, 2020 The timely knowledge of forage quality of grasslands is vital for matching the demands in animal feeding. Remote sensing (RS) is a promising tool for estimating field-scale forage quality compared with traditional methods, which usually do not provide ...

Improving the Yield and Nutritional Quality of Forage Crops
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Despite being some of the most important crops globally, there has been limited research on forages when compared with cereals, fruits, and vegetables.

A global comparison of the nutritive values of forage plants grown in contrasting environments
Journal of plant research, 2017 Forage plants are valuable because they maintain wild and domesticated herbivores, and sustain the delivery of meat, milk and other commodities. Forage plants contain different quantities of fibre, lignin, minerals and protein, and vary in the proportion

Protein fractions of intercropped pea and oat for ruminant nutrition [PDF]
Biotechnology in Animal Husbandry, 2017 The quantification of the main crude protein (CP) fractions during the growing period of pea and oat mixtures may be used to optimize the forage management. The determination of protein fraction could improve balancing rations for ruminants.

Allometries in Plants as Drivers of Forage Nutritive Value: A Review
Agriculture, 2019 The nutritive value of forage for herbivores has been for a long time determined by the concentration in protein and, hence in nitrogen (N), the concentration in different minerals (P, K, Ca, Mg, and oligo-elements), and the in vivo dry matter (DM ...

Review: Feeding conserved forage to horses: recent advances and recommendations.
Animal, 2017 The horse is a non-ruminant herbivore adapted to eating plant-fibre or forage-based diets. Some horses are stabled for most or the majority of the day with limited or no access to fresh pasture and are fed preserved forage typically as hay or haylage and
