Dry matterintake and digestibility represent the most importantand useful estimates of the forage nutritive value.Unfortunately, in trials under grazing conditions,forage mass is difficult to measure because the cropcannot be harvested without affecting both animal andpasture performance. Likewise, the actual feed intakeand nutritive value of the forage consumed ...
