Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation Coastal bermudagrass hay had greater DM intake than T44 in one of three experiments.
- Observation DM intake did not differ between Coastal and the other cultivars in the other two experiments.
- Observation T44 had greater DM digestion than Coastal in one trial.
- Observation T44 did not differ in DM digestion from Coastal in the other trial.
- Observation In Year 1, sheep consumed more Coastal than T44 or T85.
- Observation In Year 2 no differences in intake were detected between the bermudagrass hays.
- Observation Coastal was digested least compared with T44 and T85 in both experiments.
- Observation T85 had the greatest DM digestion in one of two years.
- Observation Coastal hay had the least in vitro true dry matter disappearance (IVTDMD).
- Observation T85 generally had the greatest in vitro true dry matter disappearance (IVTDMD).
- Observation Animal response data showed little advantage of T44 over Coastal.
- Observation Tifton 85 appears to have greater digestible fiber than Coastal.
