Overview

La calidad del forraje influye en el rendimiento del ganado de pastoreo y la vida silvestre, y a menudo se supone que, si la calidad del forraje cumple con los requisitos de nutrientes de los animales, el rendimiento de los animales cumplira con las expectativas. Sin embargo, el consumo de forraje puede ser al menos tan importante como la calidad del forraje, especialmente cuando la calidad es marginal. Los herbivoros economicamente mas importantes del area de distribucion de Texas (ganado y vida silvestre nativa o exotica) son los rumiantes. Los pequenos rumiantes tienen mayores requerimientos de nutrientes por libra de peso corporal que los grandes rumiantes. Estos pequenos rumiantes seleccionan tipos particulares de forraje para hacer frente a sus mayores necesidades de nutrientes. (5 paginas)
