Abstract
Simple correlation coefficients between all possible combinations of Ca, P, crude protein and acid detergent fiber (ADF) were calculated from the analyses of 82 legume, 102 mixed, mostly legume, 143 mixed, mostly grass, and 101 grass hay samples. The correlation coefficients were different from zero (P < 0.01) for all combinations except for Ca and P in legume hay and in mixed, mostly legume hay and for Ca and ADF, and P and ADF in legume hay. However, it was concluded that predictions of the contents of crude protein, Ca, P, or ADF in hay from the contents of any of the other three nutrients could be misleading. Key words: Forage, calcium, grass, legume, phosphorus, protein
