comparison of nutrients and cost-income from two alfalfa harvesting methods (hay or silage)
نویسندگان
چکیده
this study was conducted to evaluate consumption inputs, production costs, nutrient composition and performance in production of alfalfa hay and alfalfa silage. therefore, data on alfalfa hay production were collected from 75 farms in zanjan province, using a face to face questionnaire in the year 2012. a systematic random sampling method was used. then, two farms managed by silage harvesting system and all data were recorded. data on 75 farms for alfalfa silage production estimated based on data obtained. the benefit-cost ratios from alfalfa hay and alfalfa silage productions were to be 1.20 and 1.44, respectively. total cost of production was calculated as 5874.83 and 4899.26 rials per kg for alfalfa hay and alfalfa silage, respectively. the crude protein yield of alfalfa hay and alfalfa silage productions were calculated as 955.42 and 1338.73 kg ha-1, respectively. cost of energy types (nel3x, nel4x) for alfalfa hay was higher than alfalfa silage. the results indicated alfalfa silage production was more profitable.

Synthesis of microbial protein in ruminally cannulated cows fed alfalfa silage, alfalfa hay, or corn silage.
Six ruminally cannulated cows were used in an experiment with a 3 x 3 Latin square design. Three all forage diets-alfalfa silage, alfalfa hay, or corn silage plus 2.2% urea (DM basis)-were fed for ad libitum intake four times daily. The microbial protein marker 15NH3 and the liquid marker Cr-EDTA were infused continuously into the rumen for 72 and 48 h, respectively; the solid marker, Yb-labele...
متن کاملPerformance of lactating dairy cows fed either alfalfa silage or alfalfa hay as the sole forage.
Alfalfa was harvested from alternate windrows as 40% DM silage or hay in small rectangular bales and fed in two 12-wk 4 x 4 Latin square trials, each with 20 multiparous lactating cows (4 with ruminal cannulas). Diets contained (DM basis) 69 (trial 1) or 66% (trial 2) alfalfa, 26 to 33% high moisture corn, 1.3% minerals and vitamins, and about 1.6 Mcal of NEL/kg of DM. In trial 1, second-cuttin...
متن کاملMoisture – Temperature Management during Alfalfa Hay and Silage Making & Storing
In some areas of the country, producers store a substantial portion of their forage for winter feeding as silage or haylage. However, hay remains the most popular storage method for forage. Hay stores well for long periods and is better suited to cash sale and transportation than silage. Mechanical conditioning, which gained acceptance during the 1950's is probably still the greatest single cha...

Net release of degraded N as NH3 and total AA plus microbial protein synthesis, quantified from incorporation of 15NH3 into microbial protein, was used to estimate the rate and extent of in vitro degradation of protein fractions isolated from alfalfa hay and silage. Seven proteins (casein, alfalfa hay, alfalfa silage, extracts from alfalfa hay and silage, and residues from alfalfa hay and silag...
متن کاملEffects of supplementation of energy or ruminally undegraded protein to lactating cows fed alfalfa hay or silage.
Alfalfa was harvested as silage or hay and fed in two 12-wk trials with a 4 x 4 Latin square design that used 12 (trial 1) or 24 (trial 2) multiparous lactating cows (4 ruminally cannulated cows per trial). Diets contained (dry matter basis) 75 or 50% alfalfa plus 24 of 40% high moisture corn (trial 1) or 50% alfalfa, 44 or 41% high moisture corn, with (3%) or without fish meal (trial 2). Exper...
