T nutritive value of any feed is governed by its content of energy-producing nutrients, that is, its total nutritive energy, and by its content of nutrients specifically essential to the body, namely, protein and certain minerals and vitamins. Forage crops contain all of these nutritive factors, but in highly varying amounts according to species, stage of growth, cultural conditions, and other factors.
