Abstract

Chemical composition of forage from two varieties of switch grass (Panicum virgatum L.) was determined at different stages of vegetation. Changes in contents of some chemical compounds were noted during plants growth and development. Crude protein content decreased while structural carbohydrates (crude fiber, neutral detergent fibre – NDF, acid detergent fiber) increased during vegetation progress...
