An experiment was conducted to determine the yield and chemical composition of narrow-leafed or blue lupins (Lupinus angustifolius) when harvested as whole-crop silage, crimped grain and dry grain. A branching variety (cv. ...

Changes to agricultural management, particularly of the nitrogen (N) input to farms, have great potential for mitigating emissions of N containing gases, especially the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). Manipulating diets ...

An Italian ryegrass and hybrid ryegrass sward was harvested on 11 May 1994. The mean dry-matter (DM) content of the herbage was 197 g kg–1 fresh matter (FM), and mean nitrogen and water-soluble carbohydrate contents were ...

Two experiments describe the ensiling potential of whole-crop forage peas (Pisum sativum) and field beans (Vicia faba). In Experiment 1, forage peas (cv. Magnus) and field beans (cv. Mayo) were harvested at 10, 12 and 14 ...

Two experiments investigated (1) the effect of stage of maturity at harvest in the first year on yield and persistency of red clover and lucerne when grown as monocultures and bi-crops, and (2) the effect of ensiling ...

An experiment investigated the hypothesis that incorporating lupins (Lupinus spp.) into lamb finishing diets would not alter lamb productivity and carcass characteristics when compared with a soya bean (Glycine max) meal ...

The effects of offering ensiled red clover (Trifolium pratense), lucerne (Medicago sativa), pea (Pisum sativum), kale (Brassica oleracea) and hybrid ryegrass (Lolium hybridicum) on the productivity and nutrient-use efficiency ...
