The Effects of Different Forage Types on Feed Values and Digestibilities in Some Brassica Fodder Crops

This study was conducted to explore the effects of different forage types (fresh, hay and silage) on chemical composition, quality in vitro true digestibility (IVTD) fodder turnip (Brassica rapa), mustard nigra) canola napus L.). Ankom Daisy incubator used determine IVTD forages were incubated for 48 hours. According findings this study, silage have highest ether extract (EE) content, while has crude protein (CP) content (P<0.001). It found that, among samples, value terms neutral detergent fiber (NDF) content; grass, grass higher values lignin lowest content. As a result, it concluded that obtained from Brassica crops could be as alternative souces. However, use silages is recommended ruminant nutrition.
