Combining Orchardgrass and Alfalfa: Effects of Forage Ratios on In Vitro Rumen Degradation and Fermentation Characteristics of Silage Compared with Hay

Combining Orchardgrass and Alfalfa: Effects of Forage Ratios on In Vitro Rumen Degradation and Fermentation Characteristics of Silage Compared with Hay

This study aimed to investigate the effects of different forage ratios of orchardgrass (<i>Dactylis glomerata</i>) and alfalfa (<i>Medicago sativa</i>) on in vitro rumen degradation and fermentation characteristics. Orchardgrass and alfalfa were harvested separately and prepa...
