“…The obtained DDM rates were similar to the findings of CACAN et al (2018) (71.0-74.4%). on the other hand, our RFV values were higher than GUNDEL et al (2014) and ENGIN & MUT (2018), and lower than CACAN et al (2018). BASBAG et al (2009), collected 11 alfalfa clones from Southeastern and Eastern Regions of Turkey and determined a significant variation in quality properties of alfalfa clones for DDM (63.0-75.8%).…”

This study was carried out to determine the yield and quality characteristics of some alfalfa village populations cultivated by producers in Bingol province of Turkey. Alfalfa seeds were obtained from 23 different locations in 2015. A three replicated, randomised complete block designed field trial was established in 2016 including these genotypes and four registered varieties. As a result of three year trials, it was determined that the populations obtained from the villages of Servi, Mutluca, Garip, Sarıçiçek-1 and Bagliisa produced highest green herbage and hay yields. When we compare the quality results, Kumgecit, Küçüktekören and Şenköy-1 populations stands out in terms of crude protein ratio. Highest crude protein yield was obtained from Servi population. In terms of relative feed value, it was observed that the varieties were better qualfied than the populations. It is concluded that the populations of Servi, Mutluca, Garip, Sarıçiçek-1 and Bagliisa can be used in breeding studies especially to obtain genetic progress in yield of alfalfa for feed and bioenergy production. For the genetic improvement of current genotypes with higher crude protein ratio, Kumgecit, Küçüktekören and Şenköy-1 populations can be used as a source. This study showed that, East Anatolia region is not just live-conserving highly diversified species but also covering special intra-species genetic diversity in microclimatic zones of Turkey to be used to improve the global forage and bioenergy cropproduction.

“…The variations in growth parameters including plant height, number of leaves, leaf width and petiole length imply that the varieties used for this study exhibited different adaptations to the environment of Sa Kaeo province. There are previous studies with similar findings on variations of growth parameters among alfalfa varieties, such as plant height (42.0 -76.6 cm) (Phaikaew et al, 2005;Basbag et al, 2009;Chen et al, 2012;Cacan et al, 2018) and leaf width (0.4 -1.4 cm) (Basbag et al, 2009). However, there were no differences in fresh weight and dry weight per plant between the varieties on both the first and second cut at 90 and 120 days after planting (Table 1).…”

“…The selection of different varieties will be important for alfalfa production in the future. In previous studies, the characteristics used for alfalfa selection included yield, yield composition and nutritive values (Avci et al, 2018;Cacan et al, 2018). A good forage quality is indicated by high protein and low acid detergent fiber (ADF).…”

“…Moreover, CP has a positive correlation with relative forage value (RFV) and relative forage quality (RFQ) which can be used as an index to identify suitable forage for livestock (Undersander et al, 2011). Alfalfa is known as the 'Queen of Forage' as it has high protein content between 11.3-25.9% (Testa et al, 2011;Zhang et al, 2014;Avci et al, 2018;Cacan et al, 2018), high dry matter intake (DMI) (3.4-5.9%) (Basbag et al, 2009;Cacan et al, 2018) and highly digestible dry matter (DDM) (57.4-75.8%) (Basbag et al, 2009;Avci et al, 2018;Cacan et al, 2018). Several studies have found variations in alfalfa quality in different environments and varieties as, for example, in CP yield (2.1-5.8 ton/ha) (Kavut and Avcioglu, 2015;Cacan et al, 2018), in neutral detergent fiber (NDF) (20.3-49.6%) (Basbag et al, 2009;Kavut and Avcioglu, 2015;Avci et al, 2018;Cacan et al, 2018).…”

The ADF was reported to range from 16.8-40.4% (Basbag et al, 2009;Kavut and Avcioglu, 2015;Avci et al, 2018;Cacan et al, 2018). Tannin, a polyphenol-complex found in a wide range of many plant species (Terrill et al, 1992) is commonly consumed by ruminants.…”

This study proposed to examine the alfalfa varieties suitable for further field experiments in Sa Kaeo province in order to cultivate alfalfa plants for a meat goat diet. Four varieties of alfalfa were collected from four distributors, source from the Republic of Turkey (coded as AC1), source from the United Kingdom (coded as AC2) and source from the United States of America (coded as AC3 and AC4, respectively). Their growth rate, yield and chemical composition were analysed in Sa Kaeo province. The results show that the plant height, the number of leaves per plant and the leaf width increased from 30 to 90 days after all the varieties were planted. There were significant differences between the varieties in their chemical composition after the first (90 days) and second (120 days) harvest times except for dry matter (DM) 90 days after planting. To determine the effects of increasing levels of alfalfa dehydrated pellets (ADP) in total mixed ration (TMR) on feed intake and productive performance of meat goat, a randomized complete block design experiment was conducted with 9 crossbred Native-Anglo Nubian goats, 3-4 months’ old, with body weight ranging from 8-10 kg which were fed received 0%, 10% and 20% of ADP in a TMR. The results revealed that increasing levels of ADP with 10% and 20% in the diet had no effect on DM intake, average daily gain, nutrient digestibility and blood urea nitrogen.
