Herbage Digestibility

Herbage Digestibility is a biochemical metric that quantifies the proportion of ingested forage material, particularly from legume-grass mixtures, that is broken down and absorbed by ruminant animals during digestion, distinguishing it from other forage quality indicators by its direct measurement of nutritional availability.
