Forages and roughages are the backbone of the industry, because ruminants like cow depend on them for milk and meat production.
Year-round supply of feeds for livestock under study
Forage production: Inoculation of berseem clover seed with Rhizobium trifolii significantly (P< 0.05) increased plant growth across all plant parameters measured, as shown in Table 1.

Forage species were prioritized into functional groups A and B, including Axonopus affinis, Paspalum notatum, Mnesithea selloana, and A.

Some people simply
forage wherever wild foods lurk:
FOOD LAW GONE WILD: THE LAW OF FORAGING
People will be surprised how quickly a
forage will mature in warm weather and go from 40 to 60 percent NDF in a very short period of time, diminishing the quality and value of the
forage.
A GUIDE TO FORAGE PRODUCTION AND QUALITY
In intercropping systems, ET is commonly higher compared with the monocropping systems (Yang et al., 2011), but in the
forage cactus sorghum configuration this trend may not be observed, because the Crassulacean acid metabolism of the
forage cactus favors gas exchanges during the nighttime (Queiroz et al., 2015; Scalisi et al., 2016), while for C4 plants (i.e., sorghum), ET is predominant in the daytime period (Wang et al., 2015).

In addition to increasing
forage production, seeding desirable
forages may also suppress or prevent weed invasions.

This study thus aimed to evaluate milk production and
forage mass accumulation, morphological composition, and nutritional value of
forage from Mombaca grass pastures subjected to different residual heights.

An Agricultural Research Service (ARS) plant geneticist in Tifton, Georgia, has developed recommendations for fertilizing
forage grass in the Southeast.
The right recipe to fertilize forage grass
(1993) reported that in cows, the amount of dry
forage or silage intake was not decreased unless the physiological range was exceeded by the volume of water in the balloon inserted in the rumen and by increases in ruminal fluid osmolality.
The physiological suppressing factors of dry forage intake and the cause of water intake following dry forage feeding in goats--a review
fonticola held in aquaria preferentially feed on moving invertebrates while ignoring static ones (USFWS, 1996), suggesting they rely on visual cues to
forage. Etheostoma fonticola also require the combination of visual and chemical information to respond to the threat of predation, implying vision is likely important in antipredator responses as well (Swanbrow Becker and Gabor, 2012).

* Rather than looking at what's in the fish's stomach, the scientists relied on stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen in the fish's muscle to assess the diversity of
forage eaten and whether the fish were feeding in the shallow, littoral zone or the open water.

The bottom line for what determines
forage quality is based upon the level of nutrition--energy and protein--that it can supply to your animals.

Most of the dairy animals are in and around the intensively cultivated irrigated regions except for some rain fed areas such as Rawalpindi-Islamabad and Mirpurkhas There is no land for grazing therefore animals are kept at the homestead and stall fed on cultivated
forage crop residues and concentrates.
