Abstract

The present study has been undertaken (1) to compare the performance of steers fed alfalfa and orchard grass hays, (2) to determine the influence of an enzyme mixture, Agrozyme, upon the performance by steers fed these hays, (3) to compare the digestibilities ef alfalfa and orchard grass hays when fed alone and when fed with seventy-five per cent concentrates, and (4) to determine the effect of an enzyme mixture—Agroxyme—on the digestibility of orchard grass hay.
