Data reported earlier by J.A. Keuning [Stikstof (1974) 76, 87] on the mineral composition of grass samples from intensively managed farms in the Netherlands in 1962-1971 are tabulated and discussed in relation to mineral requirements (K, Na, Cl, Ca, P and Mg) of grazing high-yielding dairy cows. The effect of N fertilizer on the nitrate content in grass and other roughages is also considered in relation to the origin and prevention of nitrate poisoning in cattle.
