What is it about?
ME contents were found to be consistently higher based on the cellulase method, with a difference of up to 1.5 MJ ME/kg DM compared to Tilley&Terry method.

Why is it important?
With the genetic advancement of new cultivars, improvement in the forage quality of legumes is expected to meet an improved animal performance. Organic matter digestibility seems to be the simplest way to compare the genetic progress in forage plants.
Perspectives
Working in cooperation is a great possibility for networking.
