The nutritive value and forage productivity of Leucaena leucocephala

Animal Feed Science and Technology, 1996
Abstract 65 publications on Leucaena for nutritive value and forage productivity (1946–1992) were reviewed. The median chemical composition for leucaena leaf meal [g 100 g−1 dry matter (DM basis)] was calculated to be 4.15 nitrogen (N), 29.2 crude protein (CP), 4.3 mimosine, 19.2 crude fibre (CF), 10.5 ash, 1.01 tannin (Tn), 1.9 calcium (Ca), 0.23 ...

Forage nutritive value of modern alfalfa cultivars

Crop, Forage & Turfgrass Management, 2020
AbstractGenetically engineered, reduced lignin (RL) alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) cultivars have been developed for enhanced forage nutritive value. Research is needed to quantify the differences in forage nutritive value among conventionally bred cultivars marketed as high in nutritive value (HNV) and RL cultivars.

Forage Nutritive Value in an Emulated Silvopasture

Agronomy Journal, 2006
Incorporating trees into pastures may alter forage nutritive value. The objective of this study was to determine nutritive value in response to trees and slope position in an emulated (no animals) silvopasture. In 1995, black walnut (Juglans nigra L.) and honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos L.) trees were planted within three block plots of ...

Soil Type Affected Cowpea Forage Nutritive Value

Forage & Grazinglands, 2011
) and other annual forages often exhibit micronutrient deficiency in some high pH, high Ca, low P soils (4,5) common to the southwestern USA. Zaiter et al. (5) related iron chlorosis visual ratings to seed yield of edible dry beans. While the effects of Zn deficiency are less pronounced on cowpea straw and sorghum (

Forage Nutritive Value and Palatability of Perennial Weeds

Agronomy Journal, 1987
AbstractKnowledge of forage quality of individual weed species is essential for making sound management decisions regarding the control of weeds that invade alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). Our objective was to determine the nutritive value and palatability of nine perennial forb and grass weeds in comparison to alfalfa and smooth bromegrass (Bromus ...

Grain and Forage Legumes: Nutritional Value and Agriculture Sustainability

2018
Humanity faces great challenges with respect to the use of energy, the production of food and feed, and the management of the Earth through sustainable practices. Agriculture can play a key role to give appropriate responses to these challenges. By the end of this century, human population will grow up to around 10,000 million people, meaning we must ...

Forage Yield and Nutritive Value of Selected Quackgrass

Forage & Grazinglands, 2004
Quackgrass (Elytrigia repens (L.) Desv. ex Nevski) is a widely distributed perennial that colonizes pastures and hayfields in the northern USA and is often considered a weed. Recently, the first quackgrass cultivar, Everett, was released for use in soil conservation.

Nutritive Value of Chicory and English Plantain Forage

Crop Science, 2003
Forage production in midsummer is a challenge for graziers in the northeastern USA. Domesticated cultivars of chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) and English plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.) are available in the USA as perennial herbs for pastures. These species have been touted as having good summer production and relatively high nutritive value.
