Beschreibung:
<jats:p>The aim of this study was to investigate fodder quality and nutritive value
of different grass-legumes mixtures influenced by various level of N
fertilization. Studied factors had an impact only on the content of crude
protein (CP), crude protein yield (CPY) and nitrate content in the forage.
The level of N fertilizer showed a highly significant and positive impact on
the CP and nitrate content. Treatment with 210 kg N ha-1 is characterized by
the highest content of CP and nitrate of 189.7 g kg-1 DM and 2524 ppm,
respectively, and the highest protein yield of 1.95 t ha-1. The value of
nitrate in the forage does not exceed the limit that is considered hazardous
to the health of animals. Energy value of forage obtained from the grasslands
of ME ?7.75 and NEL?4.32 MJ kg-1 DM is lower than values obtained in other
studies.</jats:p>
