Allometries in Plants as Drivers of Forage Nutritive Value: A Review [PDF]
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 ...

Nutritive value of forage biomass from sainfoin mixtures
Saudi Journal of Biological Sciences, 2019 Forage quality characteristics of field-grown mixtures of sainfoin with cocksfoot (50:50%), sainfoin with tall fescue (50:50%), and the same with the addition of subterranean clover in their composition (33:33:33%) were measured. Forage biomass from the mixtures of sainfoin with cocksfoot had generally higher forage quality than mixtures with tall ...

Central rib and the nutritive value of leaves in forage grasses [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 AbstractIn grasses, leaf expansion and central rib growth occur in a non-proportional manner, with potential implications to the nutritive value of leaves. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship among blade length, percentage of central rib, anatomical characteristics and the nutritive value along the length of leaf blades of ...
