Title
Predicting forage nutritive value from height and maturity of alfalfa in Saskatchewan, Canada
Korvin Arthur Grant Olfert University Library - University of Saskatchewan (University of Saskatchewan) 2003
Other claims from this paper (6)
- Method / resource Height and maximum maturity predicted ADF with R2 of 0.86.
- Method / resource Height and maximum maturity predicted NDF with R2 of 0.90.
- Method / resource The remaining measured chemical characteristics did not show predictive value from height and maturity.
- Method / resource The Weiss model predicted digestibility poorly, with R2 of 0.23.
- Method / resource A height and maturity model predicted in-vitro dry matter digestibility moderately well, with R2 of 0.61.
- Recommendation The authors advise caution when using the estimates for further prediction.
