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 ...

Genomic prediction of forage nutritive value in perennial ryegrass

Grassland Research
Background Despite its importance to animal production potential, genetic gain for forage nutritive value has been limited in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) breeding.

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 ...

Alfalfa forage yield, milk yield, and nutritive value under intensive cutting

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2022
Forage yield, nutritive value, and stand persistence are key metrics in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) management. The combination of cultivar improvement, longer growing seasons in the Midwest, and trends of shorter alfalfa rotations offer opportunity to ...

Forage Type and Maturity Effects on Yield and Nutritive Value [PDF]

, 2018
Forage sorghum (Sorghum bicolorL.) and sorghum × sudan (Sorghum bicolor sssp. Drummondii) are important annual forages in the High Plains. Advancements in brown mid-rib (BMR) cultivars will likely affect forage yield and nutritive values.

Floristic Composition Mediates Change in Forage Nutritive Quality of Atlantic Mountain Grasslands after Experimental Grazing Exclusion

Agronomy, 2020
Simultaneous reduction of biodiversity and forage nutritive value after grazing abandonment represents a critical agroecological problem observed in temperate mountain grasslands. However, how both processes affect each other after the exclusion of large

A Comparison of Pearl Millet and Sorghum–Sudangrass Pastures during the Frost-Prone Autumn for Growing Beef Cattle in Semiarid Region

Agriculture, 2021
Sorghum–sudangrass (Sorghum bicolor × S. sudanense (Piper) Stapf.) and pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) provide adequate nutritive value for growing beef cattle; however, unlike pearl millet, sorghum–sudangrass produces hydrocyanic acid ...
