Changes in herbage quality of two grasses from Inner Mongolia grassland during growing season
The perennial C3‐grasses Stipa grandis and Leymus chinensis are the dominant species in large parts of Inner Mongolias typical semi‐arid steppe, as they comprise more than 60% of DM‐yield.Both grasses have been described extensively with regard to their productivity and ecological importance, but less information is available about the nutritional value of these grasses.As animal products are the major sources of income to the local farmers, the herbage quality needs to be described in order to assess the nutrient supply to the animals and optimise it to improve animal productivity.
