Characterization of Farmer and Forage Supply in a Sheep Smallholder System in West Java, Indonesia
Sriwijaya Journal of Environment, 2022 Forage plays a crucial role in the ruminant farm as the main diet whereas the forage availability is fluctuated, and low quality. This research was carried out to study the characteristics of sheep farming, forage diversity and supply at fattening period

Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca. Agriculture, 1970 The challenge for the research in crop and animal husbandry is how to determine the quality of a speci¬fied crop as a forage for ruminants by the chemical analysis of only a small amount of sample". Since more than hundred years scientists try to give an answer to that question.

Warm-season annual forages in forage-finishing beef systems: I. Forage yield and quality [PDF]
Translational Animal Science, 2019 Abstract The demand for a year-round supply of fresh, locally grown, forage-finished beef products has created a need for forage-finishing strategies during the summer months in the southeast. A 3-yr study was conducted to evaluate four warm-season annual forages in a southeastern forage-finishing beef production system.

Switchgrasses: Forage Yield, Forage Quality and Water-Use Efficiency [PDF]
Journal of Range Management, 1982 The purpose of the study was to evaluate 3 strains of switchgrass (Panicum virguturn L.) under 3 water and 3 harvest regimes. Dry matter yields, under natural rainfall and full irrigation, averaged 2.0 and 6.7 metric tons/ha, respectively. Productivity of the 3 strains ranked G 3OO>HV-341>Biackweii. Yields of HV-341 and Blackwell were similar under 1,2,
