| Abstract: | The cultivation of forage crops in the Maltese Islands is an important agricultural industry which provides an essential feed input to the livestock sector. The contribution of these crops as fodder for animal feeding may be illustrated by quantifying the nutritional value of the forage crops and the ability of the local fodder production to meet the demand generated. Based on current census information, the estimated available supply of fodder is sufficient to meet only approximately 38% of the total amount of roughage required for animal feeding. |
