About the Book From the relatively high protein content Shown in table 6 it seems probable that the samples were taken from the plant crop when the forage was leafy and immature.<br>Langer states further (6, p. 65) that tests Of the digestibility Of Napier grass have Shown its nutritive ratio to be which com pares very favorably with the better-quality grasses. Further trials on the digestibility Of this grass are needed, for it must be remembered that the nutritive ratio of a grass is much narrower in an immature grass than in a mature one. For feeding young growing calves and dairy cows in milk, Napier grass should be cut at a rather immature stage, with the plants from 3 to 5 feet in height, so as to get the higher protein content, while for fattening beef cattle it might be fed at a Slightly more advanced stage in growth.
