Dietary Nutritive Value, Dung Quality, Decomposition, and Nutrient Movement into Soil in Smooth Bromegrass Pastures

Legumes increase forage nutritive value in pastures; however, literature addressing the impacts on dietary nutritive value, dung quality, decomposition, and nutrient movement into soil remains scarce. Cattle grazing legume‐interseeded smooth bromegrass ( Bromus inermis Leyss.) pastures may select diets with greater nutritive value and consequently produce dung that decomposes faster and increases nutrient movement into soil relative to cattle...
