NUTRITIVE VALUE OF RED CLOVER AND LUCERNE FORAGES FOR RUMINANTS ESTIMATED BY IN VITRO AND IN VIVO DIGESTIBILITY METHODS

Nutritive value of red clover and lucerne forages for ruminants estimated by in vitro and in vivo digestibility methods

The aim of this study was to determine the nutrient and energy levels of red clover and lucerne forage.Investigation of forage at different maturity stages of three growths was carried out by chemical analysis, in vitro and in vivo digestibility methods.Generally, maturation caused a significant increase in fibre fractions.With the increasing matur
