			The Fodder Value of 
			the Sand Mustard: 
			     
			    
			        				
			
			
			The sand mustards are good fodder for cows, sheep, 
			camels and pigs. The green mustard contains more than 80 percent of 
			water, with high content of crude protein, non-fiber carbohydrates 
			and ash content, small content of crude fiber. According to the 
			files, we used empirical formula to study Ningxia grassland and we 
			found that there are digestible dry matters like crude protein for 
			65.84g, digestible energy for 9.2MJ, 
			metabolizable energy for 7.91MJ 
			in every kilogram of sand mustard. So the sand mustard belongs to 
			forage plants of medium quality.  |
