Five common range forage including Agropyron intermedium, Bromus tomentellus, Hordeum bulbosum, Cousinia bakhtiarica and Scariolla orientalis, were sampled during three phenological stages, from controlled rangeland stations over five locations in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province, Iran. All samples were chemically analyzed for Crude Protein (CP%), in vitro Dry Matter Digestibility (DMD), Organic Mater Digestibility (OMD), Ether […]
The aim of this study was to determine the chemical composition and in vitro digestibility, and to estimate the in vitro fermentation parameters of palm leaves and pedicels from Ghars palm variety. A rumen in situ technique was also used to examine In vitro Digestible Dry Matter (IDDM), In vitro Digestible Crude Protein (IDCP), and […]
This study focuses on the evaluation of the chemical composition and in vitro nutrient digestibility of two forage legumes namely, Sulla aculeolata subsp. aculeolata and Sulla aculeolata subsp. mauritanica. from the semi-arid rangelands of the Mediterranean area. For the first time, a study has been conducted to determine the nutritive value of these two pasture forages. Plants […]
