Items¹	Control	T. koningii	A. niger	P-value	Alfalfa²
TDN (%DM)	64.19 ± 0.48^a	60.24 ± 0.38^c	62.23 ± 0.27^b	<0.001	56−58
DDM(%DM)	70.05 ± 0.50^a	65.95 ± 0.40^c	68.01 ± 0.28^b	<0.001	47.23−49.25
DMI (%DM)	2.74 ± 0.04^a	2.43 ± 0.06^c	2.59 ± 0.03^b	<0.001	2.88−3.19
RFV	149 ± 2.9^a	125 ± 3.5^c	137 ± 2.0^b	<0.001	108−117
RFQ	143 ± 2.9^a	119 ± 3.4^c	131 ± 1.9^b	<0.001	130−150

Means with different letters in the same row (a–c) indicated a significant difference according to Duncan’s multiple comparison tests at P< 0.05.

¹ TDN, total digestible nutrient; DDM, digestibility of dry matter; DMI, dry matter intake; RFV, relative feed value; RFQ, relative forage quality.

² Feeding value of alfalfa was according to Xiong et al. [29].
