Egyptian Clover Genotypic Divergence and Last Cutting Management Augment Nutritive Quality, Seed Yield and Milk Productivity

Under a changing climate, harvesting management and exploiting the genotypic divergence of Egyptian clover cultivars offers biologically viable solution to sustainably boost milk productivity dairy animals. Two multi-season field trials were executed under semi-arid conditions whereby first experiment aimed assess potential (Berseem Agaiti, Anmol SB-11) for nutritional quality attributes digestibility green forage hay, palatability buffaloes fed on hay. In second investigation, new promising line, SB-11, was tested seed production varying dates last regimes (10, 20 30 March along with 9 April 19 April) owing sharp hike in temperature. terms nutritive value SB-11 remained superior recording maximum crude protein (CP), ash, fat nitrogen-free extract except dry matter (DM) content that exhibited by cultivar. Additionally, unmatched giving minimum fiber (CF), while Berseem Agaiti yielded lesser producing 4% 2% higher CF than Anmol, respectively. Moreover, recorded CP DM. Furthermore, 6% 9% 8% 11% surpassed rest cutting exhibiting 7%, 23%, 50% 207% more yield 10 March, April, respectively, indicating quite pronounced effect clover. The research findings suggest as genotype bridging gap feed (forage hay) addressing challenge
