Changes in the chemical composition and energy value of the cocksfoot grass dry matter during the vegetation

2001

One of the main preconditions for an economical milk production is a balanced cow feeding that contains high quality grass forage. Chemical composition of cocksfoot forage during vegetation was investigated at the Research Centre "Sigra" in the Biochemical laboratory of the Latvia University of Agriculture. Changes in the content of crude protein, NEL MJ kg*[-1) of DM, NDF, ADF and DM digestibility were determined. The chemical composition of grass forage depends on many factors, the most significant of which is the harwesting time. The feeding value of the cocksfoot grass decreases during its growing stages as the content of fibre increases and becomes lignified.
