Nutritional Evaluation of Forage Crops Regional Research Project S—45^{1, 2, 3,}

Clemson University, Clemson, South Carolina and Georgia Experiment Station, Experiment, Georgia

Abstract

While some difficulties were encountered, due to the broadness of the project objectives and the variations in geography and climate of the Southern region, definite progress was made in a difficult but important area of research. Knowledge was gained in the elucidation of forage constituents and properties which influence intake, digestibility and subsequent animal performance. Progress was made in the development of methodology for the estimation of forage nutritive value. The experience encountered during the project indicated the need to concentrate research efforts on fewer areas of endeavor. The revised S—45 project, "Development of Methods for Relating Forage Properties to Intake and Digestibility," is an attempt in this direction.
