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.

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.

Kura clover forage yield, forage quality, and stand dynamics
Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 1991Persistent legumes are needed for livestock production in the northern U.S.A. and Canada. We compared forage yield, forage quality and stands of kura clover (Trifolium ambiguum M. Bieb.), a rhizomatous perennial legume, with commonly grown forage legumes. Kura clover had lower initial stands and yields than most other legumes, but was ultimately among

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.

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 ...

Importance of winter forage pea in high-quality forage production
2010Winter forage pea becomes more important forage crop for haylage production. Even in unfavourable conditios (drought) this crop provides good yields of high-quality fodder. It is usually sown as a mixture with cereals. Dry matter yield of forage pea is being inreased with plant height but protein yield is being decreased due to leaves falling off of ...

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.
