This study evaluated 3 procedures for calculating dry weight composition of forage mixtures when microhistological analysis was used. Dividing the frequency of each species by the total frequencies of all species gave a slightly more accurate representation of dry weight composition than converting frequency to relative density or using actual density. The frequency addition procedure is much quicker than either procedure involving density.
