This occurs in the stems and leaves of both temperate and tropical grasses, but the change is more pronounced in Topical grasses. The rate of plant maturation rises with temperature, e.g., alfalfa grown at 17°C took 52 days to reach early bloom but only 21 days at 32°C (Faix, 1974~.

and DDM of plants. Also, feeds that have high cwc have higher heat increment even at similar lE; thus, the higher cwc of forages grown during summer-or,.in~tropical areas results in poorer utilization of energy (Van Soest, 19711.~The reasons for the decline in efficiency as cell wall intake rises is not~entirely clear but it is associated with a linear increase in rumination time (Welch and Smith, 1969~3.
