Abstract/Contents: | "Recent studies plus observations obtained from research in progress, including efforts at the University of Illinois, show clearly that the turfgrass clippings produced by mowing could become a valuable source of roughage for livestock feed. Four experiments were initiated to evaluate the potential value of turfgrass (Bluegrass) clippings that had been dehydrated and pelleted as a source of nutrients for finishing lambs. From the [Experiment 1] data it is apparent that in every respect, the turfgrass was more highly digestible than a good-quality alfalfa hay." |
