This study was carried out to determine the effect of silage on fermentation quality. The produced by forage yield mixed planting corn and soybeans which planted as a second crop in Mardin ecological conditions. field experiment Randomized Complete Experiment Design with three replications at 7 different ratios [corn (C), 70% + 30% soybean (70C30S), 60% 40% (60C40S), 50% (50C50S), +% 60 (40C60S...

High quality whole-plant corn silage (WPCS) contributes greatly to supplying the energy, starch and forage neutral detergent fi ber needs of high-producing dairy cows, reducing purchased feed costs from expensive grain and byproduct supplements, and genera ng milk revenues for dairy producers throughout the world. The purpose of this paper is to review selected recent developments and considera...

The microbiota of silage is a key determinant its quality. Although commercial inoculants are often used to improve quality, studies analyze their impact on the preserved forage at farm-scale facilities scarce. We assessed diversity viable bacterial communities hay (unfermented dry forage) and grass or legume (GL) corn (C) deepen our knowledge how inoculant addition drives microbial occurrence ...

Understanding the roles that various microbes play in silage fermentation and the factors that affect their growth can help us understand why silages ferment in various ways. In many, but not all cases, the fermentation that a crop undergoes can be explained by how microbes interact with factors such as moisture content, buffering capacity, and sugar content. However, management factors such as...

I. Sheep were given four Merent diets which contained two types of forage and two types of concentrate. The forage portion of the diet consisted of either hay or silage, while the low-oil concentrate had high levels of starch and in the high-oil concentrate this starch was replaced by an isoenergetic amount of soya-bean oil. 2. The effects of these diets on various factors in the blood was meas...

In order to study the extent to which rumen soluble nitrogen can contribute to the intestinal flow, a study was carried out to simultaneously assess the dynamics of protein disappearance from dacron bags placed in the rumen and the amount of various N products in the rumen fluid (total nitrogen (tN), ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N), non-ammonia nitrogen (NAN)). The measurements were carried out on 4 s...

The common smut of corn, caused by Ustilago maydis, reduces the yield and quality maize forage. When heavy infestations corn occur, grain yields can be so severely decreased that most viable economic alternative may to harvest ensile crop. Only a couple studies have attempted investigate influence aerobic exposure on nutritive value stability silage, which is prepared from smut-infected maize. ...

The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effects of partial replacement of corn silage with long alfalfa hay and/or coarse chopped wheat straw on biochemical parameters in late lactating Holstein primiparous dairy cows. Twelve late lactating Holstein primiparous cows including four cows equipped with a rumen cannula, averaging 210 ± 20 days in milk and weighing 575 ± 50 kg were randoml...

Forage deficiency is the bottleneck that restricts development of plateau animal husbandry. Maize (Zea mays L.)–soybean (Glycine max L.) intercropping can improve forage biomass yield and silage quality. This experiment was conducted in Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture to explore effects four maize varieties (M1, Rongyu Silage No. 1; M2, Yayu 04889; M3, Demeiya M4, Zhenghong 505) on yield, n...
