Forage quality is a combination of the protein level as well as the digestibility (energy) of a forage. A high-quality forage allows increased cattle intake and digestibility and enhanced feed conversion. The best means of evaluating the cattle performance potential of a forage is the product of its digestibility and intake (i.e., digestible dry matter intake).
