The quality indices of the harvested green mass from sand sainfoin Onobrychis Arenaria and alsike clover Trifolium Hibridum

We studied the quality indices of the harvested green mass from local ecotype of species Onobrychis arenaria and Trifolium hibridum grow in the experimental plot of the National Botanical Garden (Institute) "Alexandru Ciubotaru" MSU, Chisinau, R. Moldova. It has been determined that the dry matter of harvested plant from studied species were was characterized by 16.54-16.96% crude protein, 3.17-3.18% crude fats, 22.44-28.72% crude cellulose, 43.74-49.29% nitrogen free extract, 5.54-7.37% sugars, 1.53-1.59 starch, 7.41-8.56 % ash, 0.731.14% calcium, 0.25-0.26% phosphorus and energy nutritive value - 8.96-9.96 MJ/kg metabolizable energy and 5.04-5.76 MJ/kg net energy for lactation, this fact indicates a optimal quality of forage for ruminants.
