Relative Susceptibility of Forages to Heat Damage as Affected by Moisture, Temperature, and pH

ABSTRACT

Heat damage in forage material was investigated under various controlled conditions of time, moisture, temperature, and pH with acid-detergent insoluble nitrogen as an assay of the extent of damage. Heat damage took place at 60 C in a 24 hr heating damage took place when moisture ranged from 20 to 70%. Susceptibility of 11 forages were compared. There were large differences in susceptibility which appeared unrelated to specie, nitrogen content, or initial insoluble nitrogen content.
