V I Esan; O C Olaniyi; T O Ogunbode; et al. IOP Conference Series Earth and Environmental Science 2023. doi:10.1088/1755-1315/1219/1/012011
Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation The seven forage species differed in nutritional, morphological, and biomass yield traits, excluding stem diameter.
- Association Edge and middle plants differed significantly.
- Association Edge plants had more leaves and stems than middle plants across all seven species.
- Observation Carbohydrate was the most abundant measured feed component.
- Observation Protein was the next most abundant measured feed component.
- Observation Crude fiber followed protein in measured abundance.
- Observation Crude fat had a reported value of 7.32.
- Observation Leaf N, K, Ca, and Mg were judged suitable for ruminant production across species.
- Association Protein, crude fat, and crude fiber were strongly positively correlated.
- Observation Centrosema pubescens had the best overall protein, crude fat, and crude fiber.
- Recommendation The authors recommend planting grasses and legumes on farm edges for sustainable fodder.
