 Recommendations for the best possible method of preserving meadow fodder

- Basic data for a business analysis of the preservation methods of meadow forage.
- Chemical and organoleptic evaluation of forage quality through the simultaneous testing of different preservation methods.
- Evaluation of qualitative and microbiological changes in meadow forage during the preservation and storage process.
- Feed intake and milk yield of high-producing dairy cows when fed green fodder, hay, and silage.
- Nutrient digestibility of the experimental feeds in vivo (feed value).
- Ruminal degradability of the dry matter and nutrient degradation of the experimental feeds in situ with rumen-fistulated steers (degradation kinetics – feed value).
- Fatty acid composition of milk when fed green fodder, grass silage, and hay.
