Nonlinear regressions of concentrations of neutral detergentinsoluble N (NDIN; g kg-1) on time in storage for bermudagrass hay baled at moisture concentrations of 302 [high moisture (HM); solid bold line, squares], 265 [medium moisture (MM); dashed line, diamonds], and 219 [low moisture (LM); solid light line, circles] g kg-1. Regression equations for HM [Y = 14.3 - 4.0e-0.009t2; r2 = 0.80; root mean square error (RMSE) = 1.1], MM (Y = 12.9 - 3.2e-0.030t2; r2 = 0.86; RMSE = 0.7), and LM (Y = 12.0 - 2.3e-0.014t2; r2 = 0.99; RMSE = 0.2).
