The great importance of legume hay is recognized by everyone interested in livestock production. Because of this importance, it is highly desirable to obtain data on the nutritive value of the proteins in these hays when they are fed alone and when fed in combination with the protein of corn and other farm-grown grains. It is apparent that the great value of legume hays in stock feeding is larg...

Abstract The goal of the present study was to evaluate effects enzymes (cellulase combined with galactosidase) and their combination Lactobacillus plantarum (LP) on bacterial diversity in alfalfa silages using high-throughput sequencing. Alfalfa forages were treated or without cellulase + ɑ-galactosidase (CEGA), LP (CELP), (GALP). After 56 days ensiling, all exhibited improved fermentation qual...

Interseeding silage corn into an alfalfa stand following its spring harvests to produce mixed would feasibly break the restriction of production during a hot-rainy summer. In this 2-yr experiment, alfalfa–silage intercropping system (AC) with nitrogen (N) fertilization rates 0, 60, 120, and 180 kg N ha?1 plant densities 30,000, 45,000, 60,000 plants was compared monocultured (CK) managed using ...

This study was conducted to determine the chemical composition and nutritive value of sunflower residues silage (SRS) and effects of its substitution with alfalfa hay and corn silage on lactation performance, feed intake, nutrient digestibility and some blood parameters of Mohabadi dairy goats. Four experimental diets were formulated to gradually replace alfalfa hay and corn silage with SRS as ...
