Summary
This study evaluates the nutritional value—both energetic and chemical—of alas pasture forage under the specific environmental conditions of Yakutia, Russia. Alas pastures are characteristic native grasslands of this region and an important feed resource for livestock. The work contributes regionally-specific data on forage quality that informs feeding standards and livestock productivity in subarctic pastoral systems.
UK applicability
Direct applicability to UK farming is limited, as Yakutian climate and vegetation differ substantially from British conditions. However, findings may inform comparative understanding of hardy pasture species and adaptation strategies relevant to upland or northern UK grazing systems.
Key measures
Energy content (likely metabolisable energy or digestible energy), crude protein, fibre fractions, mineral content, and other proximate chemical composition parameters of alas pasture forage
Outcomes reported
The study assessed the energy value and chemical nutrient composition of alas pasture forage under Yakutian climatic and soil conditions. Results likely characterise the feed quality of native pasture vegetation used for livestock production in this region.
