The results of chemical analysis of alfalfa samples in different phases of its vegetative development are presented. These studies have shown that the content of neutral detergent insoluble crude protein fluctuates depending on the mowing phase within the rate of 17—25.6 %. The content of neutral-detergent fiber exceeds the content of saturated fiber by 18—22 %, which must be considered when balancing cattle diets.
