New forage discovery boosts livestock nutrition with high digestibility and degradability.
The researchers studied how easily cows can digest Mineirão stylo grass. They used a method where they put grass samples in cows' stomachs and checked how much was broken down over time. They found that Mineirão stylo is easy for cows to digest, with high levels of breakdown for both dry matter and fiber. This means that this grass is a good food source for cows.
