Eastern Gamagrass Management for Pasture in the Mid-Atlantic Region: I. Animal Performance and Pasture Productivity
AGRONOMY JOURNAL, 102(1), 171–178.
TL;DR:
Although eastern gamagrass has shown potential as a forage source for both beef and dairy enterprises, there is almost no data that test grazing it and it has been suggested that rest periods between harvests, rather than continuous stocking, will improve growth and improve seasonal distribution.

Dry matter intake and digestibility of 'Coastal', 'Tifton 44', and 'Tifton 85' bermudagrass hays grown in the US upper south
CROP SCIENCE, 47(2), 795–810.
TL;DR:
Animal response data showed little advantage of T44 in comparison with CB; however, Tifton 85 appears to have greater digestible fiber and offers potentially greater DM digestion and digestible intake compared with CB.

Grazing influences on mass, nutritive value, and persistence of stockpiled Jesup tall fescue without and with novel and wild-type fungal endophytes
CROP SCIENCE, 46(5), 1898–1912.
TL;DR:
The use of novel endophytes in TF for animal production and caution against the use of endophyte-free TF because of decreased stand longevity are supported and the presence of ergovaline can be minimized by stockpiling TF with utilization after late autumn but occurs with a sacrifice in forage mass and nutritive value.

Journal of Animal Science, 79(1), 213–224.
MeSH headings : Analysis of Variance; Animal Feed; Animals; Food Preferences; Goats / physiology; Nutritive Value; Poaceae; Sheep / physiology
TL;DR:
Eight cultivars of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb), previously evaluated for preference while grazed, were harvested three times over a period of 2 yr, showing that selection was based on two criteria with two dimensions being significant.

MeSH headings : Animal Feed / analysis; Animals; Cattle / growth & development; Energy Intake / physiology; Feeding Behavior / physiology; Food Preservation / methods; Male; Mastication / physiology; Poaceae / chemistry
TL;DR:
It is indicated that preservation method with its concomitant differences in chop length affected forage chemical composition and voluntary intake, and that differences in chewing behavior occurred mostly during eating.

Intake, digestibility and nitrogen utilization of three tropical tree legumes I. As sole feeds compared to Asystasia intrusa and Brachiaria brizantha
ANIMAL FEED SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, 82(1-2), 91–106.
author keywords: tree legumes; proanthocyanidins; condensed tannin; digestibility; Asystasia intrusa; digestible energy
TL;DR:
The tropical tree legumes Paraserianthes falcataria, Gliricidia sepium, and Calliandra calothyrsus were fed to ram lambs to evaluate their potential as feeds and dry matter intake, digestibility of dry matter, neutral detergent fiber and nitrogen, and digestible energy content were determined through a digestion study.

Intake, digestibility and nitrogen utilization of three tropical tree legumes II. As protein supplements
ANIMAL FEED SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, 82(1-2), 107–120.
author keywords: Calliandra calothyrsus; Paraserianthes falcataria; Gliricidia sepium; proanthocyanidins; daily gain; digestibility
TL;DR:
Higher fecal NDF-N and lower N digestibility in tree leaf supplemented lambs indicated that condensed tannins present in these tree species were binding protein and rendering it less available for digestion.

Variation in ruminants' preference for tall fescue hays cut either at sundown or at sunup
Journal of Animal Science, 77(3), 762–768.
MeSH headings : Animal Feed; Animals; Cattle / physiology; Circadian Rhythm; Eating; Food Preferences; Mastication; Nutritive Value; Poaceae
TL;DR:
Mowing hay late in the day was effective in increasing forage preference and increased preference was associated with increased TNC and in vitro true DM disappearance and decreased fiber concentration.

Agronomy Journal, 90(1), 85–92.
TL;DR:
Flaccidgrass had high yield potential and high nutritive value at the Raleigh location, and warrants further evaluation in the upper South, while in vitro dry matter disappearance was similar and defoliation frequency altered IVDMD.
