- Observation Genera differed significantly in assayed chemical attributes except hemicellulose.
- Observation A saligna showed apparently no nitrogen disappearance after initial solubility.
- Observation All genera had similar dry matter and nitrogen solubility.
- Observation Dry matter degradation rate varied among genera from 0.064 to 0.137 h−1.
- Observation Nitrogen degradation rate varied among genera from 0.062 to 0.135 h−1.
- Observation Effective dry matter degradability varied among genera.
- Observation Effective nitrogen degradability varied among genera.
- Observation Soluble nutrient release synchrony ranged from perfect to poor except for A saligna.
- Observation Insoluble nutrient release synchrony ranged from moderate to very poor because nitrogen was in excess.
- Association Nitrogen solubility correlated negatively with proanthocyanidins.
- Association Nitrogen degradation rate correlated negatively with hemicellulose.
- Association Effective nitrogen degradability correlated negatively with NDF.
- Association Effective nitrogen degradability correlated negatively with hemicellulose.
- Association Effective nitrogen degradability correlated negatively with proanthocyanidins.
- Association Nitrogen degradation rate correlated positively with nitrogen content.
- Method / resource Corresponding dry matter degradation characteristics predicted nitrogen degradability with 0.56 to 0.81 of variation accounted for.
- Method / resource Mixed criteria predicted nitrogen degradability with 0.74 to 0.89 of variation accounted for.
- Method / resource Superior ND_P models accounted for 0.75 to 0.92 of variation.
- Method / resource A mixed model could adequately predict nitrogen degradability of fresh forages and alleviate analytical cost.
