Abstract

The leaf stem ratio has been widely used as a criterion in the selection of new forage varieties. Mowat et al have observed that the IVDMD of the immature stems of timothy, orchard grass and brome grass was higher than that of the leaves, while Minson et al Pritchard et al and Terry and Tilley have shown that digestibility of leaves and stems of immature grasses is similar.
