Forage Quality Analyses and Interpretation
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 1991The minimum analyses needed to determine the quality or nutritive composition of forages are DM, CP, ADF, NDF, Ca, and P. The accuracy of these and other analyses are affected by the sampling and analysis methods. Improper sampling is probably one of the largest but most overlooked sources of variation in analysis.

Journal of Crop Production, 2002
Abstract Legume forage quality research is now concerned not only with nutritive value of forage for ruminant animals, but the impact of these nutrients on environmental quality. If we are to move to a more sustainable agriculture worldwide, more legumes must be incorporated into animal production systems.

Yield and Quality of Forage Soybean
Agronomy Journal, 2001Tall forage soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivars in maturity groups V, VI, and VII have been developed to supply forage. Our objective was to determine the effect of harvest date and row spacing on the forage yield and quality of these new soybean cultivars.

Genomics of Forage Quality in Alfalfa
2021Alfalfa is called the “Queen of Forages”, due to its adaptability in a changing environment, high digestibility and enrichment of multiple nutrients that are beneficial for animal performance and dairy products. However, the forage quality can be quite different among cultivars. In addition, alfalfa quality is affected by various environmental factors.

Forage Legumes: Forage Quality, Fixed Nitrogen, or Both
Crop Science, 2011ABSTRACTForage legumes have the unique attributes of producing a high‐quality forage to enhance animal performance and the ability to utilize atmospheric N that eliminates the legume plants dependence on soil N. Biological N2 fixation (BNF) rates are dependent on the infection by an effective rhizobia strain on the root hairs for each legume species ...

Sampling forage corn for quality
Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 1996Plant-to-plant variation for corn (Zea mays L.) forage-quality traits has not been adequately described. A field study was conducted for 2 yr, using hybrids with a range in maturation, each grown at two sites. Precipitation and temperature deviated considerably from normal in both growing seasons.

Heterosis of Forage Quality in Alfalfa
Crop Science, 2002A semihybrid variety development system could capture natural hybrid vigor found between alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) populations. Medicago sativa subsp. sativa and subsp. falcata represent a heterotic pattern that could be used in a semihybrid breeding system to increase yields, but the forage quality of inter‐subspecific crosses in relation to intra ...

Nutritional assessment of forage quality
2012The term ‘forage quality’ encompasses the nutritive value, hygienic status and intake of the forage. The concept of ‘forage quality’, however, should be regarded in terms of meeting the specific requirements of individual animal, rather than solely as a descriptor of nutrient content and/or intake potential.
