Field and laboratory investigations of Armenia’s grassland productivity and forage quality
90 forage samples were collected from the sub-alpine and alpine zones of the Geghama ridge to assess the grasslands productivity and determine the energy and nutritive values using modern in-vitro technics.
Assessment of forage quality derived from Armenia’s grasslands
Laboratory measurements of energy and nutritive values of Armenian local forages were carried out. Analyses were done on the basis of 40 samples, including grass, legume and forbs plant groups. It was revealed substantial differences in nutritive val...
Training on Determination of Forage Quality
Learning and practice modern methodologies on determination of nutritive value of feedstuff, including gross energy, in-vitro digestible organic matter and protein contents.
