Methoxyl as an Indicator of the Nutritive Value of Forage
Journal of Dairy Science, 1958 Summary A study was made of the relationships between the digestibility and methoxyl content of forages and between forage digestibility and the fecal methoxyl content. The three forages studied were of different botanical composition, were both grazed and hand-fed, and each was harvested at several stages of growth.
