Forage utilization is a field of research that focuses on the management and use of forage crops and pastureland for livestock production. This includes studying the nutritional quality of different forage species, understanding the impact of grazing management practices on forage production and utilization by animals, and developing strategies to optimize the efficiency of forage utilization in livestock feeding systems. Researchers in this area may also investigate new forage species and technologies that can improve the sustainability and productivity of forage-based livestock production systems. Ultimately, the goal of forage utilization research is to enhance the health and performance of livestock while minimizing the environmental impact of grazing operations.
