The Nutritive Value Of Forage Crops
1969Publisher Summary Forages are grown for ruminant feeding, and most ruminant animals eat forages. Thus, a review of the nutritive value of forages is essentially a review of ruminant nutrition, with the difference that the nutritionist can treat the animal and the forage it eats in isolation.

Comparison of sorghum classes for grain and forage yield and forage nutritive value
Field Crops Research, 2013Abstract Sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), including sorghum-sudan crosses [ S. bicolor subsp. Drummondii (Nees ex Steud) de Wet & Harlan] (SS), represents a broad category of plants that includes those grown primarily for forage or grain. Sorghum cultivars can be further classified as brown midrib (BMR), nonBMR, photoperiod sensitive (PS ...

Grazing Schedule Effect on Forage Production and Nutritive Value of Diverse Forage Mixtures
Agronomy Journal, 2009The use of complex mixtures (mixtures of more than three species) may increase yield of pastures; however, we know little about how grazing management affects the productivity of mixtures. A grazing experiment was performed during 2005 and 2006 near State College, PA, to compare mixtures of grasses, legumes, and chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) for their

Breeding forage crops for increased nutritional value
2001Abstract Plant breeding is an extremely cost-effective mechanism for increasing the nutritional value of forage crops. Genetic gains in in vitro dry-matter digestibility (IVDMD) have averaged 0.7–4.7% year -1 , similar to long-term gains for grain yield of many cereal crops.

The cellulose-lignin complex in forages and its relationship to forage nutritive value
The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1970SUMMARYThe relationships between the cellulose-lignin complex, voluntary consumption and dry-matter digestibility were examined using forages of two varieties of Italian ryegrass and two legumes, lucerne and sainfoin. These forages had previously been shown to exhibit different intake-digestibility relationships.

The nutritive value of native forage plants of Armenia
Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science, 2001Armenia is a typical highland country with an average altitude of 1800 m. More than half of its territory is occupied by natural pastures and hay producing areas which form an important source of feed material for animal husbandry. However, in recent years the country has been experiencing an acute shortage of feed materials and as a result the total ...

Growth Analysis of ‘Florigraze’ Rhizoma Peanut: Forage Nutritive Value
Agronomy Journal, 1990Abstract‘Florigraze’ rhizoma peanut (Arachis glabrata Benth.) is a perennial tropical forage legume grown in Florida and the southern Gulf Coast. Two field studies were conducted near Gainesville, FL on Arredondo loamy sands (loamy, siliceous, hyperthermic, Grossaremic Paleudults) in 1980 and 1981.

Factors Affecting the Nutritive Value of Range Forage
Journal of Range Management, 1956The nutritive value of any forage is dependent upon its content of energy-producing nutrients as well as its content of nutrients essential to the body, namely, protein, minerals and vitamins. Forages supply energy mostly in the form of carbohydrates. The carbohydrate fraction makes up from 60 to 80 percent of the dry matter.
