[Wheat] hay harvested at the dough stage would have 56-62 percent TDN [total digestible nutrients] and 8-10 percent crude protein, on a dry matter basis. So, wheat hay has almost as high an energy content as alfalfa hay, but significantly lower protein. 1, record 1, English, - wheat%20hay

As background to the subject of how MIG [management intensive grazing] can help to stabilize herbage quality, recognize first that the nutritional value of pasture herbage reflects not simply nutrient content and digestibility, measured through such indices as crude protein content(CP) or fractions thereof, acid and neutral detergent fiber(ADF and NDF, respectively), total digestible nutrients(TDN), in vitro dry matter digestibility(IVDMD), and the balance among key micronutrients, but also intake, which would be affected by both preference and accessibility within the standing sward profile. 2, record 4, English, - herbage%20quality

La diminution de la valeur nutritive de l'herbe, lorsque celle-ci est conservée par séchage ou par ensilage, n'est pas encore assez bien connue pour permettre de la prévoir avec précision. Cette prévision est importante quand il s'agit d'optimiser les systèmes de production de fourrage et d'estimer leur potentiel de production. Elle permettra aussi d'estimer la valeur nutritive des fourrages conservés sur la base de la qualité de l'herbe dont ils sont issus.

Baker found that replacing an equal weight of ground snapped corn with citrus molasses in steer fattening rations resulted in higher feed consumption, larger and cheaper gains, earlier finish and slightly higher carcass grades....

The Tribunal qualified Ms. Thompson as an expert in livestock feed evaluation. ["Feed"] refers to substances that include a nutrient and that add energy or other nutrients to an animal’s diet. A "complete feed" is a product that includes nutrients and is ready to eat. Ms. Thompson testified that a "feed supplement" contains nutrients, such as protein, minerals, vitamins and energy, that would balance the animal’s diet. 2, record 8, English, - feed%20evaluation

The main energy feeds used in Florida are corn and by-products from the citrus industry. Corn, the standard used for evaluating energy feeds, is grown in limited amounts, causing most feeders to depend upon out-of-state sources for shelled corn and ground snapped corn. By products of the citrus industry are citrus pulp, citrus molasses and a limited amount of citrus meal, with citrus pulp being the most important. Large quantities of citrus pulp are available each year for beef cattle feeding, and on a laboratory analysis basis, it compares favorably with ground snapped corn with respect to TDN(total digestible nutrients). 2, record 10, English, - citrus%20meal
