Effects of Cutting Stages and Additives on the Fermentation Quality of Triticale, Rye and Oat Silage in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau is sparsely populated and has vast grassland, which plays an important role in the development of animal husbandry. However, during forage cutting season, frequent rainfall low temperatures are consistently experienced, makes it extremely difficult to produce quality hay. best way process hay silages. In this experiment, dry matter yield silage fermentation dominant annual forages, namely triticale, rye oat, with Sila-Max Sila-Mix lactic acid bacteria additives at five stages, i.e., heading, flowering, grouting, milky dough were determined. Triticale stage had highest among three forages stages. optimum harvesting time for oat alpine area was stage. could significantly improve qualities silages, but effect on silages not significant. triticale variety ‘Gannong No.2’ raw material area. Overall, be made while using as material, adding additive.
