Offered Papers Theme A: Efficient Production from Grassland
Description
Neutral detergent fiber (NDF) is a major chemical component of forages and its degradability (dNDF) is an essential parameter in predicting their energetic value. Moreover, dNDF has been used in models to estimate the physical fill of fibrous feeds in the rumen and, therefore, the intake capacity of animals. As the available information on the nutritive value of pastoral forages is limited a study was undertaken to measure chemical composition and cell wall degradation kinetics of eight pasture forages in the rumen.
