[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 1012029, member: 6897"] Fiber and the quality of the fiber is just as important as protein as well as TDN. Most of the coastal hay put up aroundhere is not that good but an average test would be something like this: Cr Protein 9% Crude Fiber 34-36% TDN 54% Acid Detergent Fiber 35% This indicates the digestibility of the fiber (The lower the better) Neutral Detergent Fiber 57% Another indicator of digestibility as well as the "fill factor" of the hay as well as the maturity or over maturity of the hay when cut Net Energy Lactation 54% Calcium .50%---1,0% Phosphorus .40% Age at cutting, fertilization, etc. can make the range of values pretty broad.
