The main objectives of this study were: (1) to assess the chemical content and the digestibility of Mongolian rangeland forages, (2) to determine in vivo intake of pasture forages from different zones of Mongolian rangelands by ruminants. The year round in vivo intake and digestibility of rangeland forages was determined...
High mountains pasture had a marginally higher degradability compared to forest steppe and steppe in Mongolia. Based on results of analysis of pastures taken all-year-round, we subjectively group the time into 4 periods, i.e. before April, May-June, July-September, After September. The time periods also corresponds to vegetative stage of pasture...
