Investigation of the Effect of Fodder Pea (Pisum sativum L.) and Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Herbages Mixed at Different Rates on Silage and Feed Quality

Abstract

Farklı Oranlarda Karıştırılan Yem Bezelyesi (Pisum sativum L.) ve Arpa (Hordeum vulgare L.) Hâsıllarının Silaj ve Yem Kalitesine Etkisi Investigation of the Effect of Fodder Pea (Pisum sativum L.) and Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Herbages Mixed at Different Rates on Silage and Feed Quality ÖZ Amaç: Farklı oranlarda karıştırılan yem bezelyesi (Pisum sativum L.) ile arpa (Hordeum vulgare L.) hâsıllarının silaj ve yem kalitesine etkisinin araştırılmasıdır. Materyal ve Yöntem: Denemede bitki materyali olarak, Altıkat arpa (Hordeum vulgare L.) çeşidi, GAP Pembesi yem bezelyesi (Pisum sativum L.) çeşidi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma; GAP Uluslararası Tarımsal Araştırma ve Eğitim Merkezi Müdürlüğü deneme tarlasında kışlık olarak 2015-2016 yılında yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada; yalın olarak %100 yem bezelyesi, %100 arpa silajından oluşurken, karışım oranları ise %75 yem bezelyesi + %25 arpa, %50 yem bezelyesi + %50 arpa, %25 yem bezelyesi + %75 arpa karışım silajından oluşmuştur. Bulgular: Silajlar fiziksel özellikleri yönünden incelendiğinde; en yüksek puanı 19.25 ile %100 arpa silajından elde edilirken, en düşük puan ise 14.00 ile %100 yem bezelyesi silajından elde edilmiştir.

A Study on the Silage Properties of Hungarian Vetch (Vicia pannonica Crantz.) and Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Grass Mixtures in Different Rates

“…In terms of dry matter rate; the highest (32.48%) and the lowest (27.40%) ratio were obtained from "100% B" and "100% H" silage, respectively. Parallel to our findings, increasing amount of barley in the mixture of silage resulted with increases in dry matter content similar to other studies like Demirel et al, (2010) and Seydosoglu and Gelir, (2019).…”

“…As the amount of barley in the mixture was increased, the silage pH value was decreased. Parallel to our findings, increasing amount of barley in the mixture of silage resulted with pH reduction similar to other studies like Demirel et al, (2010); Aykan and Saruhan, (2018); Seydosoglu, (2019); Seydosoglu and Gelir, (2019). Silage pH value is one of the most important factor affecting the silage fermentation.…”

“…Many investigators also reported an increase in CP as a result of the increase in legume ratio in mixtures. Parallel to our findings, increasing amount of legumes in the mixture of silage resulted with increases in CP content in studies like that of Yücel et al, (2018a) and Seydosoglu and Gelir, (2019).…”

“…The values of physical observations (color, odor, structure), their scores and quality classes of the silage samples obtained by mixing the Hungarian vetch with barley in sole and different proportions are given in Table 1. Considering the total points; the highest (19.00 points) and the lowest (14.50 points) value were obtained from "100% B" and "100% H" silage, respectively.The results obtained in terms of physical properties were found to be similar to the studies of many researchers (Altınok, 2002;Yılmaz et al, 2007;Demirel et al, 2010;Aykan and Saruhan, 2018;Seydosoglu and Gelir, 2019).…”

“…Yücel et al (2018a) mixed Italian grass and berseem clover and informed that they observed the most appropriate silage quality values were obtained with 60% Italian grass + 40% berseem clover mixture. Seydosoglu and Gelir (2019) informed that, in the silage of barley-grass pea mixture, silage pH value increased with the higher inclusion of grass pea in the mixture.…”
