Sažetak
Among ecological factors altitude can have significant influence on forage dry matter degradability. Red clover is very important forage species in hilly-mountain regions. Its response in dry matter degradability to different altitudes has been little studied. In this experiment degradability of six red clover cultivars grown at two different altitudes (123 and 650 meters above the sea level) was studied by using rumen fistulated rams (in sacco technique). The clover samples for the degradability determination were taken from the first cut done at the beginning of flowering at each altitude. The experiment was organised as tree factorial CRD. Five out of six clover cultivars has better degradability when grown at the higher altitude. The difference was significant for two cultivars. The sixth cultivar had slightly better degradability when grown at the lower altitude.
