Diversifying the utility and species composition of Nordic forage systems : new fractionation methods and novel legume species
Brooke Micke
Abstract:Leys, a temporary grassland grown as part of a crop rotation, represent an essential component of agricultural production in the Nordic countries. This thesis explores methods to diversify the utility of feed produced from leys through fractionation, as well as increase the diversity of legume species within the stand. Two fractionation methods, press juicing and leaf stripping, were assessed in tandem on pure legume stands, with juicing producing a biorefined fraction with a lower neutral detergent fiber (aND… Show more
