Based on the complete testing of yield and chemical composition of harvest remain of orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata L.) depending on the vegetation space and application of mineral fertilizers, it can be concluded that: Production of orchard grass seed spurs a certain amount of harvest remains as the by-product; The vegetation space has had a significant influence on the content of ADF and NDF in the leaf and the NDF in the stem; The application of mineral fertilizers have had a significant influence on the yield of harvest remains, on the crude protein content, ADF and NDF content in the leaf, as well as on the NDF content in the stem. Thus, the proper mineral nutrition can affect the yield and quality of harvest remains, in addition to seed yield. Harvest remains can be successfully used to satisfy the needs for bulk feed of certain livestock categories, especially when the concentrated feed is dominant.
