Abstract

Experiments were conducted in vitro and in vivo with lambs and cattle to determine the feeding value of unground pelleted alfalfa stems. Late first cutting and early third cutting unground pelleted alfalfa stems and average quality chopped alfalfa hay were evaluated in a cattle growth trial and a lamb finishing trial. In addition, a limit-fed all-concentrate ration was included in the cattle growth trial to determine its feeding value as a complete ration for growing cattle. Digestibility of the rations were determined with lambs.
