Document Summary
Forages and roughages: bulky feeds, gut fill and dmi depending on processing can lead to gut fill effect to limit. Minerals: located all in leaf, factors affecting mineral content, plant species, soil content, fertilization practices, climate, forages are llow in p but high in ca. Vitamins: color of forage asses vitamin content of forage, contains, beta carotene, e and b vitamins but not b12, vit d, bleaching , need notes. Forage quality and dmi: higher quality hay = higher dmi. Hay maki(cid:374)g: goal, to make a conserved forage. If dairy cows or animlas want max digesitbilty for more perforamcne. Increases time for cutting and bailing forage and more destructive and uncontrollable losses: nutrients affects, cp, soluble cho and minerals, timing of rain, rain right after cutting is not a big deal as need to dry anyways. 82 c: production of mycotoxins, affects farmers and animals in what they breathe, farmers lung.
