Forage Legumes for Grazing and Conserving in Ruminant Production Systems (2015, background): “For example, across a wide range of species and regions, the CP content of forage legumes was found to be approximately 170 g kg−1 DM compared to 115 g kg−1 DM for grasses (Minson, 1990).”
Potential of Moringa oleifera L. as livestock fodder crop: a review (2014, background): “Moreover, Minson (1990) and Soliva et al. (2005) reported that CP contents in raw and extracted moringa leaves are 47% and 64% higher, respectively, than those of common forages and grasses consumed by livestock.”
Selenium in the Environment, Metabolism and Involvement in Body Functions (2013, background): “According to Minson [20], grasses contain typically higher concentrations of selenium than leguminous plants.”
Requirements of future grass-based ruminant production systems in Ireland (2011, background): “as methane (Minson 1990) due to a shift towards a higher proportion of glucogenic volatile fatty acids (Taweel et al.”
The Role iNDF in the Regulation of Feed Intake and the Importance of Its Assessment in Subtropical Ruminant Systems (the Role of iNDF in the Regulation of Forage Intake) (2015, background): “NDF has been proposed as a reliable predictor of voluntary dry matter (DM) intake under certain conditions [26].”
