Increasing Cattle Herd Size or Density in C₃ Grass–Legume Meadows Reduces Dietary Quality by John Derek Scasta, Fernando Forster Furquim

“…Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy of fecal samples (f.NIRS) was used to estimate crude protein (CP), digestible organic matter (DOM), and the DOM:CP ratio. Structural equation modeling (SEM) that mediated time (i.e., Day of Year) rendered all animal number or density variables as significant predictors for CP and DOM (negative estimates) and for DOM:CP (positive estimate), indicating that congregating animals in larger groups and/or greater densities, even in meadows with high-quality forage species, may reduce post-ingestive diet quality estimates by −1.2% and −2.0 for CP and DOM for every +100 animals or for every +10 animals per hectare. …”
