	abstract = {Limpograss is a perennial subtropical grass which has the potential to  produce a bulk of standing feed (34 t DM/ha/yr) for consumption by cattle  during summer. To assess the value of limpograss for lactating dairy cows,  two experiments were conducted comparing limpograss and mixed  temperate pasture diets. In both experiments a four day adjustment period  was allowed before milksolids yield was assessed on three of the following  ten days. Forage samples were taken for nutritional value assessment. During March 1994, two groups of six Friesian cows on once a day milking  late in lactation were pen fed diets of freshly harvested limpograss  (Hemarthria altissima) or temperate pasture at equal intakes of 13.1 },
