The Effects of Irrigation, Genotype and Additives on Tef Silage Making

Abstract: Tef is known as a multi-harvest crop with high production capacity and outstanding fodder quality. Hence, our overall goal is to develop tef as a new multi-harvest summer crop that can maintain high-quality feed and contribute to both field crops and the livestock industry in Israel. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the ability to preserve tef as silage. Four tef genotypes grown under well-watered (100%) and water-limited (75%) irrigation regimes were harvested at grain filling stage and ensiled with either… Show more

“…The differences between our findings and the earlier findings of Vinyard et al (2018) and Ream et al (2020) could be attributed to the level of feed intake (beef heifers and steers vs. dairy cows). In addition, the teff variety might affect its composition and nutritional value (Wagali et al, 2023). Nonetheless, the teff hay used in the earlier studies by Vinyard et al (2018) and Ream et al (2020) was harvested at boot, early heading, or late heading, whereas our teff hay was harvested at early heading.…”

“…Several studies have investigated the nutritional value of teff hay and silages. For example, CP concentration was shown to range from 7.5%-18.7%, whereas NDF concentration ranged from 58.6%-70.8% in teff hay (Vinyard et al, 2018;Ream et al, 2020;Wagali et al, 2023). The IVDMD of teff silage and in vivo DMD of teff hay ranged from 58.0% to 67.0% (Ream et al, 2020;Wagali et al, 2023).…”
