CONT

In a grazing situation, plant parts are important in that with a cow's first bite of a vegetative alfalfa, their first bite contains a high proportion of leaves and the second bite contains stems, lower in quality.

CONT

Due to the high crude protein, low fiber nature of vegetative alfalfa, the most appropriate supplements are likely to be high energy materials based on digestible fiber.

OBS

La qualité du fourrage dépend de plusieurs facteurs [...] La maturité au moment de la coupe est toutefois le facteur ayant la plus grande incidence sur la qualité. Un fourrage jeune et en phase végétative a une teneur plus élevée en protéines et en énergie qu'un autre en floraison.
