Effects of cutting time and maceration on preference and nitrogen balance in beef steers fed mixed birdsfoot trefoil–timothy grass hay cut at sunrise or sundown

Forages cut at sundown usually contain a greater concentration of nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) than those cut at sunrise. Maceration can speed up the rate of moisture loss of cut forage during field drying and reduce NSC utilization by plant cells. We aimed to evaluate the effects of cutting ti...
