Extract

Chemical components of plants vary between species and with maturity. As a result the nutritive value could be affected. Antinutritive factors such as tannins are common in browse. Little is known about mediterranean browse. This paper aimed to study chemical composition and to determine the nutritive value using the in vitrogas production and the in sacco DM degradation techniques of 8 Greek browse at different stages of growth.
