Extract

Islam et al. (1996) reported effects of variety, fertilizer nitrogen (N) and sowing date on the botanical fractions of straw from oats grown at one site in NE England (ADAS High Mowthorpe). The present study investigated the effect of the same factors on straw quality from oats grown at a site in the SW Midlands (ADAS Rosemaund). Treatment effects on both botanical fractions and in vitro digestibility were measured, and the relationships between botanical composition and in vitro digestibility were investigated.
