But maintain the level that can stimulate the gastrointestinal tract as well When mature timothy hay was found to have seeds, protein levels were reduced by 30% from the time of first mowing, and many animals, such as rabbits and rabids, were unable to digest lignin. digestibility Digestibility is reduced by 3 to 4% for every 1% increase in flight league.
