| Title : | NUTRITIONAL VALUES ANALYSIS OF SANDY GRASSLANDS ALONG THE DANUBE FROM THE PANNONIAN REGION TO THE ROMANIAN PLAIN |
| Abstract : | Grazing livestock farming has a long tradition in Hungary. The most valuable feed for grazing animals is provided by plants of grasslands. Supplementation of feed rations with fiber increases the saturation of digestive tract, thus making the animals calmer and improving animal welfare. Grasses can be useful supplements as they contain a lot of digestible fiber. Our aim is to find out about the grassland management values of sandy grasslands dominated by Festuca species along the Danube. Cut samples were made along the Danube, beginning in the northwestern part of the Little Hungarian Plain, across the central sandy plains of the Carpathian Basin to the southernmost part of the Basin at Deliblato, Serbia. The last samples were made beyond the Carpathians on the Romanian Great Plain and Bulgaria. Weende analysis of the cut samples was carried out in the laboratory of MATE. Their original dry matter, crude protein, crude fat and crude fiber content were analysed, and fiber fractions (NDF, ADF, ADL) were measured. Based on the results, contents of absolute dry matter, crude fiber and NDF were high in all samples. The five samples of the analysed Festuca species showed significant differences between dry matter and crude fiber. Festuca wagneri had the highest dry matter content. The highest crude protein contents were found in Festuca vaginata, Festuca wagnerii and Festuca rupicola samples, the highest crude fiber content in Festuca tomanii samples. |
