Improving grassland profitability in the Mid-continental USA by breeding for improved forage digestibility: lessons learned and applications to South American grasslands
Abstract:(CP 154, Campo Grande, MS). 215 Biochemistry Hall, University of Nebraska. Lincoln NE, ABSTRACT -In the early 1970's research was initiated by the cooperative USDA-ARS and University of Nebraska grass breeding program to develop perennial grasses adapted to the mid-continental USA with improved forage quality. The initial breeding and animal evaluation work focused on switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) but has since expanded to several other warmand cool-season perennial grasses. The in vitro dry matter digestibil… Show more
