Sentence examples for chopping length from inspiring English sources
Maize was harvested with a maize forager set at a chopping length of 10 mm.
The results suggest that MS with a theoretical chopping length of 9 mm at harvest can be used as sole roughage source in beef cattle diets, without adverse effects on DMI, ADG, feeding behavior and health status of the animals.
Dietary treatments differed in maturity stage (early vs. late) and chop length (fine vs. coarse) of WPMS.
