The review summarizes the potential, distribution and origin of Lablab purpureus. Forage legume has potentials for production productivities arable land by suppling nitrogen living organisms in soil those allowed to obtain their own feed symbiotic relationships. Further become fertile next cropping season even at time intercropping yield would be improved than mono-cropping systems. It also sup...

Effects of protein supplementation, with and without starch on nutritional performance metabolic characteristics cattle fed low- medium-quality tropical forages were evaluated using 4 cannulated steers distributed according to a × Latin square. Experimental periods divided into two subperiods. In the first subperiod, animals received low-quality hay medium-quality. Supplementation schemes in se...

In order to determine the response of some tropical grass species to low light situations such as under plantation crops, seasonal cloud cover, etc., six tropical forage grasses were evaluated over a 20 month period on an Oxic Haplustoll in Hawaii (100 m above sea level) under four light regimes (100, 70, 45, and 27/, daylight using polypropylene netting) in the field. The forage grasses evalua...

A demonstration was conducted to examine the stored forage yield and stored forage quality of two different hay forage management systems. The forage management systems were a hay harvest only system or a complimentary hayround bale silage harvest system. The hay system harvested bermudagrass forage as hay during the summer when weather conditions allowed, the complimentary system harvested ber...
