Effect of nitrogen fertilization and cutting management on the chemical composition of Panicum maximum Jacq in West Cameroon

摘要：

Ruminantsfeeding in Cameroon is essentially based on the natural pasture.Nutrient content of grazing land forage varies as the growing season progress and can be influenced by soil qualities and the management strategies.In highly populated areas crop expansion reduce the extent of grassland, thereby jeopardizing the potential of ruminant to satisfy their need for maintenance and production (Pamo et al.,2006).The only alternative left for livestock producer,is forage cropping and sound management strategies.The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of nitrogen fertilisation and the cutting management on the chemical composition of Panicum maximum in West Cameroon.
