The use of chemical fertilizers was one of the most common technological links for increasing feed production. The motivation for this measure was the need to increase the food requirement for the constantly growing population of humanity correlated with the consumption of animal products. One of the challenges of the last decade is to use chemical fertilizers in the smallest possible quantity, preserving the properties of the soil in order to obtain qualitative productions. One of the current trends of modern agriculture is to use mixtures (grasses and legumes) that are agro-economically efficient. In this sense, the purpose of this work is to test mixtures of annual grasses and legumes for fodder in order to evaluate their qualitative potential (CP%). Thus, mixtures of annual clover (T) and two oat varieties (O1, O2) were used. The proportions in which they were sown were: clover (T)/(O1, O2) 50%/50%, 33%/66%, 66%/33%. The mixtures were sown under the same conditions. From the statistically analyzed data, we can conclude that the best results in terms of CP% were T/O2 33%/66%, and fiber T/66%/33%.
