Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Legume forage RDN:RDOM ratios exceeded the NRC recommendation during March through May.
- Observation Wheat alone met the NRC requirement only in March.
- Intervention effect Interplanting wheat with pea increased RDN:RDOM ratios and crude protein in May.
- Intervention effect Wheat dry matter yield generally did not differ with legume interplanting, aside from one of six dates.
- Observation Wheat generally had higher undegraded intake protein than the legumes.
- Intervention effect Wheat grown alone had higher UIP than interplanted wheat in May.
- Observation Wheat alone fell to 40% below the NRC RDN:RDOM recommendation in May.
- Recommendation The authors suggested protein supplementation for cattle grazing wheat in May.
- Recommendation The authors suggested interplanting legumes with wheat may enhance animal performance through higher forage nutritive value.
