Declining nutrient content of native and seeded pasture plants with advancing growing stages are discussed. All plant types display this regression in nutritive value but to different degrees, different rates, and varying patterns. The situation is further aggravated by the concomitant increase in lignin and other fibrous properties which precludes maximum digestibility of an already declining nutrient level in the plant.Type
