Modern Sustainable Forage Crop Agronomy Systems for Feeding Domestic Animals and Wildlife

This special issue belongs to the section “Farming Sustainability“.

Special Issue Information

Forage crop agronomy systems are essential for feeding domestic animals and wildlife, but they must also be protective of the environment. Submissions on the following topics are invited: 1) The adaptation and potential of the targeted production of certain grass and forage crops for domestic animals (dairy cattle, horses, sheep, etc.); 2) Modern forage crop agronomy systems for feeding domestic animals; 3) Providing better quality nutrition and creating conditions to improve the health, reproduction, and production of wildlife and increasing the profits from trophy-hunting tourism; 4) Nutritional value of forage crops grown, with special emphasis on their protein and energy value, mineral structure, and palatability; 5) Elaborating the systems of forage crops production for animal nutrition in different ecological regions. The nutritional potential of wildlife and farm animals can be improved by growing forage crops in order to meet the specific needs of particular animal species.
