Study of the chemical composition and feed value of pasture grass
Abstract
This study presents a comparative analysis of two distinct pasture grasslands, designated as No. 1 and No. 2, evaluating their nutritional and physicochemical properties based on content measured in naturally moist feed. The parameters assessed include dry matter, organic matter, moisture, crude ash, protein content, digestible protein, fats, fibers, carbohydrates (starch and sugars), carotene, and mineral content (calcium and phosphorus). Additionally, the study quantifies the metabolizable energy, energy feed units (EFU), and feed units to determine the overall nutritional value of the feeds.
