Rezumat: The aim of this paper was to compare dry matter production and nutritional quality for different forage mixtures. The study was carried out in the experimental field of the Grassland Research and Development Institute Brașov, in 2022. Twelve grassland forage mixtures were analysed, with different proportions of perennial grass and legume species, recommended for use in three modes (grazing, mowing and mixed). Dry matter production was determined on three mowings, their sum being analyzed, and the quality of the forage obtained from each mixture was analysed as the average of the three mowings. Dry matter production ranged between 8.25 t/ha and 17.02 t/ha, and the ANOVA results showed significant differences (p<0.01) between the 12 forage mixtures. The highest CP content (18.28%) was recorded in the C1 mixture (ICDP – 60%G, 40%L) – use: mowing. Regarding CF, the highest contents (28.74%; 27.29%) were obtained in C6 (Versamax Hot&Dry – 80%G, 20%L) – use: mixed and C7 (Versamax Robust – 95%G, 5%L) – use: mixed. The highest DDM value (74.06%) was obtained in C12 (Zanandrea – 63%G, 37%L) – use: grazing, with a significant difference compared to the other mixtures. The similarity of the fodder mixtures was different on each mowing, both for dry matter production and for nutritional quality, this aspect being highlighted by Cluster analysis.
