Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Common Browse Plants of the Georgia Coastal Plain: Their Chemical Composition and Contribution to Cattle Diet
Browse plants are abundant and make prolific growth in the coastal plain forest ranges of Georgia. A description of the main browse plants, an assay of their nutritional attributes, and estimates of contributions to cattle diet are presented. Each of the 14 described plants contributed 1 percent or more to the total cattle diet sometime during the year. In all, they made up about 16 percent of the total forage intake during the winter, when other green forage was scarce. Approximately the same proportion was consumed in the spring, when succulent young shoot and leaf growth was abundant. During the summer and early fall only small amounts were eaten.
