Abstract

The study was carried out with the objective of determining the yield, chemical compositionand nutritional value of the forage oat crop, under conditions of the Puno highlands. Thesamples were analyzed to determine the chemical composition of the forage using the Weendeanalysis method, as well as the determination of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and aciddetergent fiber (ADF) using the Van Soest method; with these results were calculated thenutritional values of digestible dry matter (DMD), the dry matter consumption (CMS), therelative value of the forage (VRF) and the net energy of lactation (ENL). The results show an-1 average yield of 23.04 ± 3.86 t ha of green matter; the average chemical composition was27.95 ± 1.58% DM, 5.60 ± 0.67% total ash (TC), 8.67 ± 0.64% crude protein (PC), 7.99 ±0.70% ether extract (EE), 30.77 ± 3.33 % of non-fibrous carbohydrates (CNF), 46.97 ± 3.59%of NDF, 28.78 ± 1.94% of FDA, 18.19 ± 2.56% of hemicellulose (HC), with nutritional valuesbeing 66.48 ± 1.59% of MSD, 2.63 ± 0.26% of CMS , 136.39 ± 15.85 of VRF and 1.33 ± 0.04
