Sažetak
The aim of this experiment was the evaluation of the rumen degradation kinetics of the dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) of grass-clover silage harvested at three phenological stages of grass-clover mixture. Samples were collected from cultivated grass-clover plots established in Zagreb (Croatia) in 2002. The kinetics of degradation of dry matter and crude protein was determined by the technique of nylon bags using 4 Charolais sheep provided with a rumen cannula. Significant differences (P<0, 01) were obtained among phenological stages in rapidly soluble and potentially degradable fractions, degradation rates of DM and CP and in the effective degradability (ED) of DM and CP.
