Digestibility of Kobe Lespedeza Hay

L. L. Russof, D. M. Seath and G. D. Miller

Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station

ABSTRACT

Kobe lespedeza hay cut at three stages of maturity—bloom, early-seed, and late-seed—was used in three digestion trials with four dairy steers. Percentages of crude protein on the dry basis were 10.48, 8.21, and 6.15; percentages of digestible protein were 4.98, 2.65, and 0.22; and the total digestible nutrients were 50.06, 49.22, and 40.70 for the bloom, early-seed, and late-seed stages, respectively. The early-cut hay proved more valuable because of its higher nutritive value. These values are very similar to those of common lespedeza hay at the same stages of maturity.
