Forages have been and continue to be a long time, significant, indirect part of the food chain. Forage consumption and ruminant metabolism world wide provide the conversion process of cellular material into food items. The conversion of forages by ruminants into meat and milk provides stable, resourceful and nutritive products for mankind. Forages not only have the unique ability of providing highly nutritional diets for ruminants but they also play a major role in the reduction of soil erosion. These unique properties support the recognition and appreciation of forages world wide.
