Effect of alfalfa hay quality in an alfalfa–maize diet on the digestion, metabolism, and growth rate of goats in the Longdong Loess Plateau
Abstract Background To optimize animal production systems for future sustainability, research now focuses on improving feed quality to enhance livestock performance. Here, we test the impact on goat metabolism of varying leaf proportions in the alfalfa component of an alfalfa–maize diet. Methods In...
