Year: 2010

Type: dissertation

Abstract: The aim of the present work was to study the effect of maturity stage at harvest, maize variety and the effect of conservation methods on the in situ rumen degradability of maize plant components (maize stover, cobs, grain and whole plant). Results were sought to clarify the effect and contribution of each component on rumen degradability and feeding value of maize whole plant and which component and traits are important for the plant breeder to improve the feeding value of maize hybrids.
