“…Owing to the high moisture content in the vegetative stage, temperate grasses must undergo a prior dehydration process to ensure adequate DM contents for proper fermentation of the material, making it difficult to develop aerobic microorganisms, such as Clostridium ssp., that can deteriorate silage (SIQUEIRA et al, 2007;SANTOS et al, 2010;COBLENTZ et al, 2014). Although the pH values recorded in this study were higher than those indicated by some authors (PEREIRA et al, 2007;LIU et al, 2016;RAZMKHAH et al, 2017), who recommended pH variations between 3.5 and 4.5, the DM content of the ensiled material in this study was considered adequate (McDONALD et al, 1991), compensating any problem related to inadequate fermentation, which, in turn, is related to this parameter (pH) that can be considered of little relevance when the contents of pre-ensiled DM are above 35% (FRANÇA et al, 2007).…”

The aim was to evaluate the productive quality and fermentative as like the nutritional parameters of winter grass silage in the vegetative and reproductive stages in two consecutive crop years. The experiment was carried out at Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná, Campus Dois Vizinhos, Brazil, from April 2012 to December 2013. The experimental field had a 560 m2 area; it comprised 32 plots of 16 m2 each, with a space of 0.5 m between blocks. Four winter grass species were used, including Avena sativa L. ‘IPR 126’ (white oat), Avena strigosa Schreb. ‘IAPAR 61’ (lopsided oat), Lolium multiflorum Lam. ‘Barjumbo’ (ryegrass), and Secale cereale L. ‘Temprano’ (rye), being evaluated through silage making in two phenological stages, vegetative and reproductive. The experimental design was randomized block in a bifactorial scheme (cultivar and phenological phase of pasture). The experimental materials were ensiled in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) microsiles, with four replicates per treatment. Pre-drying and ensiling allowed the preservation of material quality. The highest yields of dry matter per hectare were obtained in the reproductive stage; however, the nutritive content at this stage was relatively lower when compared with vegetative. The rye presented relatively less variation of the nutritional composition between the studied phenological stages. The ash content of the forage influenced the pH of the silage, and the highest pH was verified at the vegetative stage. Even with pre-dehydration, the vegetative stage presented a greater loss of effluents than the reproductive stage.

“…The Jerusalem artichoke tuber or tuber meal is commonly used in animal and human nutrition as inulin source (Helmi et al, 2014). Its areal parts (leaf, stem) were used in domestic animal nutrition in the previous century (Konopiński and Bormann, 1937;Becker and Nehring, 1969), and forgotten for many years now are again investigated in herbivore nutrition (Razmkhah et al, 2017). It is known that areal parts of Jerusalem artichoke include 35-37% neutral detergent fibre assayed with a heat stable amylase and expressed exclusive of residual ash (aNDFom), 24-25% acid detergent fibre expressed exclusive of residual ash (ADFom), 37-41% nonfibrous carbohydrate (NFC) and about 18% crude protein (CP) (Stauffer et al, 1980;Karsli and Bingöl, 2009); in ruminants the in vitro organic matter digestibility (OMD) and metabolizable energy (ME) value of these green mass ranged from 59 to 63% and about 9.6 MJ · kg , respectively (Karsli and Bingöl, 2009).…”

“…Cultivation of JA has many advantages as it is tolerant to biotic stress, i.e., pests and diseases [ 6 ]. It can grow normally in a wide range of soils including salt-affected soil, sandy soil, and marginal lands with nearly zero levels of fertilization [ 7 , 8 , 9 ]. Moreover, it showed potential resistance to drought, frost, and high temperatures [ 10 ].…”

Jerusalem artichoke (JA) is widely known to have inulin-rich tubers. However, its fresh aerial biomass produces significant levels of leaf protein and economic bioactive phytochemicals. We have characterized leaf protein concentrate (JAPC) isolated from green biomass of three Jerusalem artichoke clones, Alba, Fuseau, and Kalevala, and its nutritional value for the human diet or animal feeding. The JAPC yield varied from 28.6 to 31.2 g DM kg−1 green biomass with an average total protein content of 33.3% on a dry mass basis. The qualitative analysis of the phytochemical composition of JAPC was performed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-Orbitrap/mass spectrometry analysis (UHPLC-ESI-ORBITRAP-MS/MS). Fifty-three phytochemicals were successfully identified in JAPC. In addition to the phenolic acids (especially mono- and di-hydroxycinnamic acid esters of quinic acids) several medically important hydroxylated methoxyflavones, i.e., dimethoxy-tetrahydroxyflavone, dihydroxy-methoxyflavone, hymenoxin, and nevadensin, were detected in the JAPC for the first time. Liquiritigenin, an estrogenic-like flavanone, was measured in the JAPC as well as butein and kukulkanin B, as chalcones. The results also showed high contents of the essential amino acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs; 66-68%) in JAPC. Linolenic acid represented 39–43% of the total lipid content; moreover, the ratio between ω-6 and ω-3 fatty acids in the JAPC was ~0.6:1. Comparing the JA clones, no major differences in phytochemicals, fatty acid, or amino acid compositions were observed. This paper confirms the economic and nutritional value of JAPC as it is not only an alternative plant protein source but also as a good source of biological valuable phytochemicals.
