Comparison of a Conventional Harvesting Technique in Alfalfa and Red Clover with a Leaf Stripping Technique Regarding Dry Matter Yield, Total Leaf Mass, Leaf Portion, Crude Protein and Amino Acid Contents

In this study, we compared an innovative stripping technique with a conventional whole plant harvesting for alfalfa and red clover to develop approach regional production of proteins amino acids. While the stems were harvested separately, leaves fractionated by them from using prototype machine, which resulted in higher crude protein (CP) acid yield (CP 26.53% dry matter (DM), g/kg DM, Lys 16.29, Met 4.45, Cys 3.42, Thr 12.38, Tyr 8.90) 26.88% 2.65, 4.33, 16.09, 12.99, 9.84). The stripped fraction contained approximately 73% 82% leaf portion clover, respectively. technique, crop wilted field 30% DM resulting following CP contents material 20.44% 2.56, 3.12, 11.72, 8.98, 6.24) clover(CP 20.31% 2.05, 2.98, 11.41, 9.04, 6.96).
