The mulberry as a source of forage for ruminants: effects of stand density and cutting frequency on dry matter yield and nutritive value
In the central zone of Chile, under Mediterranean climate, mulberry has been used as a decorative tree in parks and avenues.Previous results have shown large dry matter yields and high nutritive value, (Martin et al.,2000; Boschini,2000).Preliminary results indicate that yield should be over 20 ton ha‐1 with crude protein between 18 and 25 ％ ; digestible energy about 14.2 MJ k‐1.The objective of this study was to quantify the effects of stand density (SD) and cutting frequency (CF) on dry matter yield and its nutritive value.
