ABSTRACT
During the years 2014-2015, herbage samples of red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) variety Chlumecky and birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) variety Leo were harvested at weekly intervals on 9 occasions from late April to late June. Effects of legume plant species and date of harvest on crude protein (CP), water soluble carbohydrates (WSC), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), lignin (ADL) and dry matter digestibility (DDM) were studied. Regardless of the date of harvest birdsfoot trefoil contained more crude protein, NDF and ADF fraction than red clover. Red clover contained more WSC. Crude protein concentration and DDM declined and WSC, NDF, ADF and ADL increased with advancing maturity of both legume species. But the rate of NDF increase with maturity in red clover was slower.
