Abstract
The objectives of this project were to evaluate the chemical characteristics (crude protein, in vitro dry matter digestibility, fiber, etc.) of ensiled vs. fresh C. tora, examine the effect of additives (water or honey) and other forages (grasses) on the quality of the ensiled material, and provide feed during the dry season.
