“…Moreover, at first cut, 75 kg/ha of seed rate (10.19 MJ/kg) had significantly higher metabolisable energy (ME) than 90 kg/ha seed rate (10.15 Furthermore, because metabolisable energy is proportional to digestible energy and differences in digestible energy result in differences in metabolisable energy. Micek et al (2004) and Gill et al (2013) both reported similar findings. Increased seed rates led to drop in RFV, RFQ and NEL while DMD and DMI values fell.…”

Livestock is the backbone of agriculture, in spite of that, its performance is poor with low productivity, the reason is lack of nutritious fodder in sufficient quantities that reduces milk production in cattle and causes health issues. The nutritional quality and yield of fodder crops can be improved by using appropriate agronomic practices such as adequate tillage operations, proper/timely water management, weed management, nutrient management, sowing at the right time with the right seed rate, timely harvesting and so on. In this review paper, several research and review papers have been studied to understand the impact of different agronomic practices on quality and productivity of fodder crops. When compared to zero tillage, the use of tillage operations such as primary, secondary, conventional and deep tillage increases dry matter and green fodder yield. Irrigation at critical phases and on a frequent basis boosts the organic matter (OM) content and dry matter of feed. In comparison to late harvesting, early harvested forages have higher DMD (Dry matter digestibility) and CP (crude protein) content. Nitrogen application certainly fostered crop growth and development resulting in higher green fodder yield with improved fodder quality. When it comes to raising the DMD % of fodder crops, intercropping is crucial. DMD % in intercropping of Maize + cowpea (2:1) is higher as compared to sole maize and sole cowpea. Fodder yield and quality are reduced as a result of late sowing. Therefore, we conclude that agronomic interventions have a significant impact on the primary and secondary quality characteristics of fodder crops. As a result, proper methods for improving nutritional quality and overall crop productivity should be implemented in the fields.

The effects of dietary linseed cultivars, traditional (Opal, Omega) or the new Linola cultivar with an increased content of linoleic acid, on the performance and chemical composition of lamb meat and liver were investigated. The animals were fed meadow hay and concentrate. The control group received no linseed in concentrate, whereas the experimental groups received 10% crushed linseed of different cultivars. There was no significant effect of linseed, irrespective of cultivar, on daily weight gains of the lambs, feed conversion, dressing percentage and chemical composition of leg muscle and liver. However, significant (PO.05) changes were shown in the fatty acid profile of meat and liver.
