Changes in herbage quality of cocksfoot, prairie grass and tall fescue during regrowth

摘要

There has recently been increased interest in alternative perennial grass species such as cocksfoot ( Dactylis glomerata L.), prairie grass ( Bromus willdenowii Kunth.) and tall fescue ( Festuca arundinacea Schreb.), with research focusing on the management requirements and potential role of these species within intensive grazing systems.The aim of this desktop study was to review and compare the changes in herbage quality of cocksfoot, prairie grass and tall fescue during regrowth.
