Measuring Dry Matter Accurately On-Farm With an Affordable Consumer Appliance When assessing the health and productivity of your dairy herd, dry matter intake (DMI) is one of the key data points to consider. If DMI is low, productivity suffers no matter the quality of the ration. Moreover, with ...
In other words, the dry matter of fruit is a measure of the amount of nutrients and fiber present in it. ...
Release of O2: The amount of O2 produced during photosynthesis can be measured. Dry matter content: Dry matter is comprised of all the solids in a plant minus the water content. These solids are all produced as a result of photosynthesis. So, dry matter can be used to ...

.; SC) and double-crop triticale (xTriticosecale Wittmack)–double-crop corn (DT–DC). Aboveground dry matter and leaf area were measured weekly, and net dry matter production was assessed for each crop at harvest. Over 2 yr, average harvested dry matter was 25% greater for DT–DC ...
Little research has been done on the nutritive value of species-rich permanent grasslands in spite of their recognized ecological value. We proposed a new method based on the concept of plant functional type (PFT) to rank grass species and grasslands according to the organic matter digestibility (OMD) of the plant material. The PFTs are based on leaf dry matter content (LDMC). The objectives of ...
