Fermentation Profile, Nutritional Quality and Microbial Populations of Melon Plant Biomass Silage Ensiled with Corn Bran

Currently, there is no use for melon plant biomass in agriculture and animal feeding. Using this as silage provides a more sustainable production system. Thus, the objective of study was to evaluate produced with different mixtures ground corn. The experimental design completely randomized factorial scheme (5 × 2) five replications. treatments consisted between (branch + leaf) fruit (melon scrapings) amounts 0% fruit, 5% 10% 20% 100% on an as-fed basis corn AF ensiled biomass. greatest dry matter contents were found silages 0 which 225.6 g/kg 235.2 g/kg, respectively. highest concentrations acetic acid without 10.96 10.00 DM, 0%, 5%, most suitable making, adding improves quality parameters.
