Quality of Silage with Different Mixtures of Melon Biomass with Urea as an Additive

The objective of this study was to evaluate the silage produced with different mixtures melon biomass urea used as an additive. It adopted a completely randomized design in 5 × 2 factorial scheme five replications. first factor made up on as-fed basis (AF) melon, including plant (branch and leaf) fruit (culled after harvest), where amount varied follows: 0% fruit, 5% 10% 20% 100% fruit. second represented by use 1.5% AF. highest dry matter (DM) content (200 g/kg DM) observed Regarding crude protein, (69.8 found addition urea. loss through gas (GAS) silages (0.6 1.13%), no showed differences regarding fermentative pattern, chemical composition, aerobic stability, thus being most indicated for making.
