Effect of ryegrass hay and ryegrass silage, cut at two stages of development, on nutrient digestibility, nitrogen balance, and purine derivative excretion in growing sheep
The objective of this study was to evaluate nutrient digestibility, nitrogen balance, and purine derivative excretion from growing sheep fed on ryegrass silage (S) or ryegrass hay (H) cut at two maturity stages (21 and 35 d). In an in vivo trial, 32 Suffolk × Merino growing sheep (22 ± 2 kg) were us...
