| Abstract | Esophageal-fistula samples of dormant tobosa (Hilaria mutica (Buckl.) Benth.) contained significantly more silica, ash protein, ether extract, detergent fiber and detergent lignin, abut less A.O.A.C. fiber than hand-plucked grass samples collected in each of seven pastures used in grazing studies at the Jornada Experimental Range. Except for ash, the differences were apparently due to selective grazing by the steers. |
