“…Increasing protein content of feed used in rations of high-yield ruminants is a costly practice (Spanghero et al, 2015). Addition of legumes into maize silage increases not only the protein contents, but also the metabolisable energy, taste and the other quality parameters of the silage (Demirel et al, 2009;Blount et al, 2003). Therefore, maize is ensiled in mixtures with soybean (Kizilsimsek et al, 2017), climbing beans (Contreras-Govea et al, 2009), cowpea and bean (Geren et al, 2008), red clover and lupin (Carruthers et al, 2000) and alfalfa (Ozturk et al, 2006).…”

In present study, effects of different mixture ratios of cluster bean (CB) and maize (M) on silage fermentation and nutritional traits were investigated. Based on dry matter (DM) ratios, maize and cluster bean plants were mixed in five different ratios (100% M, 75% M+25% CB, 50% M+50% CB, 25% M+75% CB and 100% CB). Pure maize, cluster bean and mixture were ensiled for 60 days. Effects of mixture ratios on investigated traits were found to be highly significant (p≤0.01). Increasing silage DM, ADF (acid detergent fiber), NDF (neutral detergent fiber), lactic acid, gas-methane production, metabolizable energy (ME) and organic matter digestibility (OMD) values and decreasing pH levels were observed with increasing maize ratio of the mixtures. Increasing silage crude oil (CO), crude ash (CA) and crude protein (CP) content and volatile fatty acids (acetic, butyric and propionic) were observed with increasing cluster bean ratio of the mixtures. Present findings revealed that improvements were achieved in DM, pH, nutritional traits and ME of the silages with mixtures of maize and cluster bean. It was concluded that 25, 50 and 75% maize ratios in mixtures provided significant contributions to silage quality.

“…Soybean is a good source of protein, fiber, micronutrients, vitamins, isoflavonoids and oil, which can be used in the food and biodiesel industries. In recent years, there has been a decrease in the value of soybean as oilseed, which has led to the enhancement of soybean cultivation for forage, providing high-quality grazing, hay or silage. , …”

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Metabolomics of Iron Deficiency in Soybean Leaves

et al. 2014

Iron (Fe) deficiency is an important agricultural concern that leads to lower yields and crop quality. A better understanding of the condition at the metabolome level could contribute to the design of strategies to ameliorate Fe-deficiency problems. Fe-sufficient and Fe-deficient soybean leaf extracts and whole leaves were analyzed by liquid (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and high-resolution magic-angle spinning NMR spectroscopy, respectively. Overall, 30 compounds were measurable and identifiable (comprising amino and organic acids, fatty acids, carbohydrates, alcohols, polyphenols, and others), along with 22 additional spin systems (still unassigned). Thus, metabolite differences between treatment conditions could be evaluated for different compound families simultaneously. Statistically relevant metabolite changes upon Fe deficiency included higher levels of alanine, asparagine/aspartate, threonine, valine, GABA, acetate, choline, ethanolamine, hypoxanthine, trigonelline, and polyphenols and lower levels of citrate, malate, ethanol, methanol, chlorogenate, and 3-methyl-2-oxovalerate. The data indicate that the main metabolic impacts of Fe deficiency in soybean include enhanced tricarboxylic acid cycle activity, enhanced activation of oxidative stress protection mechanisms and enhanced amino acid accumulation. Metabolites showing accumulation differences in Fe-starved but visually asymptomatic leaves could serve as biomarkers for early detection of Fe-deficiency stress.

“…The CP content of soybean silage was 15.56%, and the CP content of the silage increased as in soybean ratio increased in the mixture (p<0.05). Blaunt et al (2006) reported that the soybean supplement did not only increase the CP level in corn silage but also improved the taste and energy level. Demirel et al (2009) stated that a 20% or 30% soybean additive was required in addition to corn to increase the CP content in corn silage and to improve the fermentation of soybean.…”

This study was carried out to determine the effect of silage on fermentation quality. The silage was produced by forage yield of mixed planting of corn and soybeans which was planted as a second crop in Mardin ecological conditions. The field experiment was carried out in a Randomized Complete Experiment Design with three replications at 7 different planting ratios [corn (C), 70% corn + 30% soybean (70C30S), 60% corn + 40% soybean (60C40S), 50% corn + 50% soybean (50C50S), 40% corn +% 60 soybean (40C60S), 30% corn + 70% soybean (30C70S) and soybean (S)]. The single (pure) and mixed yield obtained from each plot were left to fermentation in glass jars for 90 days in four repetitions. According to the results of the study, the highest fresh biomass obtained was 71 071 and 68 333 kg ha -1 respectively from 60C40S and 70C30S mixtures, and the highest crude protein yield was obtained from 60C40S, 70C30S, 30C70S and 50C50S mixtures planting ratios. As the soybean ratio in the mixture increased, the CP ratio, silage pH and butyric acid (BA) concentration increased. While the lactic acid (LA) concentration of corn silage was the highest value with 2.67% in dry matter (DM), this value has been determined as 1.04% in soybean silage. To conclude, in regions having ecological conditions of Mardin province, it is recommended to mix planting with 30% or 40% ratio of soybean plant with corn plant to increase the protein value of corn silage and improve the fermentation of soybean.
