Summary

Hungarian vetch intercropped with wheat at 50:50 ratio planted at dryland in Autumn were harvested seven times at weekly intervals between mid June and late July. The study was conducted to determine the effects of harvesting frequency on the nutrient content, in vitro digestibility, relative feed value (RFV) and rumen degradation kinetics of the forages. Results revealed that harvesting frequency had no effect on dry matter, ash and organic matter of Hungarian vetch and wheat, but the NDF and ADF ratios increased. The crude protein ratios increased upto 20 July, while the digestibility level was observed between 30.10 and 53.24%, but significantly decreased with increasing maturity (P
