VARIABILITY AND CORRELATION OF BIOCHEMICAL INDICATORS AND THE METABOLIC ENERGY CONTENT IN GREEN MASS OF LEGUME-GRASS PASTURE SWARDS

Abstract

The paper shows that the crude protein content in legume-grass pasture swards varies far more than the content of crude fat, fibre, ash, and especially nitrogen-free extractive substances. It is indicated that the metabolic energy content in green mass of grasses varies slightly and is practically the same depending on a year of cultivation. The formula of calculation of the metabolic energy content in green mass is proposed: ME, Megajoule/kg of dry matter =11.8-0.095 CF, where CF – weight ratio of crude fibre in dry matter (%).
