Research
Cattle grazing tropical and subtropical grasses following a freeze generally require supplementation. However, livestock growers and animal scientists have difficulty determining supplementation needs because there is little information on tropical and subtropical grass nutritive value following a freeze. This study measured yield and nutritive value of nine grasses with and without fall fertilization, harvested at date of freeze and 1, 2, and 4 weeks post-freeze.
