Abstract/Contents: | Details a pasture trial conducted at the Adelphia Research Center, in Freehold, New Jersey. Reports that "Kentucky bluegrasses (Poa pratensis), and combinations of Kentucky bluegrass, orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata), tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea), and colonial bentgrass (Agrostis capillaris) provided the highest level of wear tolerance." Suggests that "the biggest disappointment in [a] hay crop [that was harvested] was the low levels of protein (6.7%) in this bright, attractive hay. However it was perfect for adult horses that have only maintenance requirements and could easily be balanced with supplemental concentrates fed to horses with higher nutritional needs." |
