Lespedeza Straw for Dairy Cows

Department of Dairy Husbandry, University of Illinois

ABSTRACT

Lespedeza straw consisting of the roughage from a crop of lespedeza harvested before maturity and threshed for seed, proved somewhat less palatable and slightly less valuable as a feed for dairy cows in milk than soybean hay harvested in the early stages of pod formation.

Twenty-three per cent of the soybean hay fed was refused while only ten per cent of the lespedeza straw was refused.
