The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of different forage wafer variety, storage periods and the interaction on wafer physical characteristics. The experimental design used in this research was Factorial Completely Randomized Design with 2 factors and 4 replications. Factor A was forage variety composing wafer (R1 = 100% grass; R2 = 100 % maize straw; R3 = 100% maize steam, R4 = 50% field grass + maize straw; R5 = 50% field grass + maize steam; R6 = 50% maize straw + 50% maize steam. The variables were water content, water activity and density of wafer. Data collected was analyzed with ANOVA and Duncan Range Test would be used if the result was significantly different. The forage vaiety was very significant (P<0.01) on moisture content, water activity and density of wafer. The storage period was very significantly (P<0.01) increasing on water content, water activity and decreasing wafer density. There was very significant interaction (P>0.01) between forage variety and storage period on water content, water activity and density of wafer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
