New study reveals best legume forage plants for optimal animal feeding.
The goal of the study was to figure out how nutritious some legume plants are for feeding animals. They looked at different plants like alfalfa, clover, and vetch to see which ones had the most protein, fat, and other important nutrients. The researchers found that mountain clover had the most protein and fat, while three-headed clover was the best for animals to eat a lot of. Purple crownvetch was the easiest for animals to digest, and mountain vetch was the best overall for feeding animals. Overall, the study showed that these legume plants are good for feeding animals.
