Abstract

The nutritive value of the fodder from Nardus stricta grasslands improved through fertilisation, amendment, and re-sowing was pointed out by some quality indices as ADF, NDF, ADL, DDM, DMO, and DMI. The values of these nutrition indices allowed the determination of a statistic assessment index called relative fodder value (RFV). Depending on the treatments applied, RFV ranged between 109 and 123 in 2011 and between 110 and 115 in 2012. The large number of quality indices assessed allowed the study of the correlation between these indices.
