Verbatim
e0“In vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) values ranged from above 80% down to 45%, with an average rate of decrease during June of 0.74, 0.84, 0.85 and 0.45% per day in timothy, tall fescue, reed canarygrass and Kentucky bluegrass, respectively”
e1“crude protein (CP) in first-cut forage ranged from 28% to 6% and had respective decreases of 0.47, 0.40, 0.39 and 0.28%/day”

- Observation Kentucky bluegrass IVDMD decreased on average by 0.45% per day during June.
- Observation Timothy crude protein in first-cut forage decreased by 0.47% per day.
- Observation Tall fescue crude protein in first-cut forage decreased by 0.40% per day.
- Observation Reed canarygrass crude protein in first-cut forage decreased by 0.39% per day.
- Observation Regrowth forage in midsummer and fall harvests averaged 63 to 59% IVDMD.
- Observation Regrowth forage in midsummer and fall harvests averaged 16 to 20% CP.
- Intervention effect Delaying the initial cut continued to increase total annual dry matter yield, except in reed canarygrass.
- Intervention effect Delaying the initial cut significantly increased total IVDMD yield until flowering.
- Intervention effect Delaying the initial cut decreased total CP yield from stem elongation onwards.
- Observation Reed canarygrass reached its optimum CP yield at early heading.
- Observation Reed canarygrass had significant increases in IVDMD yield until the flowering stage.
- Intervention effect Harvesting all forages at the stem elongation stage substantially reduced yield of DM, IVDMD and CP.
- Observation Most of the DM was obtained in the initial harvest.
- Observation Almost half of the total CP was obtained in the final harvest.
