A2 - Lloveras J. AB - The aim of this experiment was the evaluation of the rumen degradation of the dry matter of lucerne kept as hay or dehydrated. Samples from three alternate cuts and two phenological stages per cut were collected at a cultivated lucerne plot at Bujaraloz (Zaragoza) in 1998. Samples were submitted to a haymaking or dehydration process. Degradation kinetics of dry matter was determined by the nylon bag technique using three rams provided with a rumen cannula. The results obtained were adjusted to the curve y N1 - 14. Réunion Eucarpia du Groupe Medicago spp., 2001/09/12-15, Zaragoza and Lleida (Spain) UR - http://om.ciheam.org/om/pdf/a45/01600092.pdf ER -
