Productivity and Quality of Sorghastrum setosum (Griseb.) Hitchc. Ranges in Formosa, Argentina

The aim of this work was to determine ways of using Sorghastrum setosum ranges for beef cattle production, based on dry matter production (MS), nutritional compounds, in vitro organic matter digestibility (DIVMO), energy and mineral element contents in forage harvested in different seasons of the ye...
