The impact of using alternative forages on the nutrient value within slurry and its implications for forage productivity in agricultural systems.
Alternative forages can be used to provide valuable home-grown feed for ruminant livestock. Utilising these different forages could affect the manure value and the implications of incorporating these forages into farming systems, needs to be better understood. An experiment tested the hypothesis tha...
