Two Stages

The fresh weight, dry matter (DM) contents and nutritional quality in maize vary considerably with variation in varieties, stages at which harvested, climatic conditions and agronomic factors. Recently, agronomists, nutritionists, and dairy producers have placed increased emphasis on factors affecting the nutritive value of maize. However, very little information is available on quantitative variability of the feed value of maize fodder as affected by such factors. This study was, therefore, carried out to assess the effect of harvesting of six different maize varieties at two stages (dates) of grain maturity on quality of both the stover and cobs.

Phleum Pratense L

Timothy (Phleum pratense L.) is grown in several countries, mainly for livestock forage. The nutritive value and dry matter (DM) yield of timothy is well established but less information is available on mineral concentration and related indices, like the dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) and the grass tetany (GT) index. These indices predict the risk of a forage diet to cause metabolic disorders, i.e., milk fever for DCAD and grass tetany for the GT index. Improving our knowledge of factors affecting timothy mineral concentration is important for livestock production. This review paper compares timothy with other common cool-season grasses for mineral concentrations, DCAD, and GT index. Also assessed are variations in timothy mineral concentration affected by harvest and fertilization management, soil mineral availability, and environmental conditions. These results demonstrate the high potential for improvement and use of timothy forage to decrease the incidence of metabolic disorders within the dairy industry. Key words: Milk fever, grass tetany, dietary cation-anion difference, grass tetany index, forage, cool-season grasses

Although the quantity of silage made in the United Kingdom has increased in recent years, lack of an understanding of the factors associated with the ensiling process has led often to the production of material of reduced nutritive value. Recent research, reviewed here, has shown ways in which silage making may be improved and higher levels of animal production from silage achieved.

Food Value

Australia's unique and diverse woody flora has become socially, economically and environmentally important in many other countries. The seed of some Acacia species showing promise in planting programs in semi-arid areas has been a part of the traditional diet of Australia's Aboriginal people. The dry seed may be ground to flour, mixed with water and eaten as a paste or baked to form a cake. Forest tree breeding has focussed on wood production, selecting taller, faster-growing varieties. The same principles of selection and improvement can be applied to improve seed yields and nutritional properties of shrubs. The selection criteria would include seed characters such as taste, seed coat thickness and nutritive value to maximize their food value. The book looks at the possibility of building upon the traditional knowledge of Aboriginal Australians, using modern scientific methods, for the benefit of people in the world's dry areas. Australian Dry-zone Acacias for Human Food documents the proceedings of a workshop held at Glen Helen, Northern Territory, Australia. The purpose of the meeting was to examine the idea of developing the food value of the seed of Australia's dry-zone acacias. This book covers a summary of the workshop conlcusions, the invited papers, and recommendations of the working groups.
