Quality of feed species from eastern galega (Galega orientalis Lam.)

The experiments studied the influence of the vegetation phase of eastern galega (Galega orientalis Lam.) plants in the conditions of the North-Western region of Russia on the characteristics of the nutritional properties of the feed prepared from it. It was established that eastern galega should be harvested in the North-Western region for grass flour and pellets in the stalk phase. For the preparation of other types of feed (hay, haylage, silage) it should be harvested in the budding phase - the beginning of flowering, which will allow to get high-quality and nutritious feed for livestock.
