Sheep numbers required for dry matter digestibility evaluations when fed fresh perennial ryegrass or forage rape
Research trials with fresh forages often require accurate and precise measurement of digestibility and variation in digestion between individuals, and the duration of measurement periods needs to be established to ensure reliable data are obtained. The variation is likely to be greater when freshly...
