pdf.usaid.govAs pasture plants mature, palatability, digestibility, and nutritive value decline, thus it is important to rotate and/or clip pastures to keep plants in a vegetative state. Forbs usually have higher di-gestibility and crude protein levels than grasses at similar stage of maturity. TYPES OF FEED AND CONCENTRATED FEED

Introduction to Organic Practices
www.ams.usda.govproducers convert forage, legumes and grasses into meat, milk, wool, and other products. Grazing livestock also provide producers with manure, a very important source of fertility in organic farming systems and an excellent means of recycling nutrients. Rotational grazing may improve forage quantity and quality, while preventing over-grazing.
