Offered Papers Theme A: Efficient Production from Grassland
Description
If no special instructions have been given, the metabolic energy (MJ/kg DM) and the energy density (MJ NEL/kg DM) of grass samples are calculated by the agricultural test institute using a standard valuation formula as regards crude nutrients, crude fiber content, crude protein contents and crude ash. On the other hand, it is well known from feeding tests that permanent grassland grasses and herbs, which may be dominant under semi-intensive or extensive management, can have low digestibility and low energy density.
