As Hoy Matures Its
Digestibility Declines
The amount of hay eaten by
sheep and cattle, and the di
gestibility of the hay, varies
with the hay’s maturity, ac
cording to results of a two
year study at the Uuivcisily
of Delaware Agricultural K\-
poi intent Station. A publica
tion describing these results
has recently been released
The three orchardgrass hay
varieties studied we'e Latin,
which is slow maturing, S-37.
iulei mediate, and Common,
fast maturing Each variety
was hai vested on May f). 22
and June 8 or 9 during both
years of the study and was fed
to 70 sheep and rabbits. The
findings also apply to cattle,
the authors point out
Latar was the most di
gestible variety, with S-37
ranking second and Common
third. The date of cut was
responsible for the differ
ence in digestibility, which
decreased with the advanc
ing maturity of the hays.
Crude fiber and gross energy
composition were equal among
the varieties, but Latar con
tained the most protein, S-37
was second and Common had
the least protein The study
suggests that among grass hays
with an equal fiber content,
the one with the highest pio
tein content is the one eaten
in the largest daily amount
Howevei. the amount con
sumed by the sheep was af
fected more by the dale of cut
than by the vauety of hay,
since the crude fiber content
depends moie upon the matur
ity of the hay The research
indicates that a general date
