Korean lespedeza is playing an increasingly large part in the feeding program of farm animals. It is widely used as a fine mid-summer pasture crop and as hay; and the abundant-yield of seed can be utilized as a high protein concentrate for livestock feeding. Although the high feeding value of Korean lespedeza has been shown often in comparative feeding trials, few reports have appeared concerning the digestibility of the hay fed alone. The investigation reported herein was therefore instituted for the purpose of determining the digestibility of different types of Korean lespedeza hays and the digestibility of Korean lespedeza seed fed with different hays.
