“…Three-year average ADF contents of alfalfa genotypes indicated that Yesilova-1 (30.86%), Keciborlu-3 (30.50%), Cay-2 (30.98%), Huyuk-1 (31.09%), Bucak-3 (31.12%), K.Agac-3 (31.59%) and Yalvac-3 (31.67%) genotypes had lower ADF contents than the other alfalfa genotypes (between 34.36-30.91%). Alfalfa genotypes viz., Egirdir-2 (42.06%), Yalvac-3 (41.93%), Cay-1 (41.93%), Uluborlu-1 (41.87%), Suhut-1 (41.79%), Cay-2 (41.72 %), Keciborlu 3 (42.17%), Aksehir-2 (42.33 %), Sandikli-1 (42.41 %) Keciborlu 1 (42.45%), G.Dost-1 (42.54 %), Yesilova-1 (42.55 %) Bucak-3 (42.75 %), Huyuk-1 (42.90 %), Sandikli-3 (42.99 %), Aksehir-1 (43.07 %), Karamanli-1 (43.07 %), Yenisar-2 (43.14 %) and Cay-3 (43.15 %) alfalfa genotypes had lower NDF contents than the other alfalfa Jian et al, 2015;Kavut andAvcıoglu, 2015 Yuksek et al, 2016;Ahmad et al, 2016;Min, 2016;Malushi et al, 2017). Changes in harvest time with varieties and ecological factors have been shown to be effective on the ratio of ADF and NDF (Rimi et al, 2012), and genetic factors have also been implicated in alfalfa fiber content (Katic et al, 2008).…”

The aim of the research was to determine the forage yield and quality of thirty alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) genotypes. Plots were established in 2014 in Isparta, Turkey, in a randomized complete block design with 3 replicates. Five cuttings were done during the 2015, 2016 and 2017. The dry matter yield (DMY), crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), acid detergent lignin (ADL) and relative feed value (RFV) were determined. According to the three years average results, significant differences were determined for all parameters. Alfalfa genotypes viz., Cay-1, Cay-2, Keciborlu-1 and Keciborlu-3 were selected for alfalfa breeding program due to their superior yield and quality features.

“…Dry matter content of forage crops is one of the dependable criteria of biomass production, and high rate of dry matter content is mostly indicate a better adaptability and yield performance (Kavut and Avcioglu, 2015). Although the grass had higher dry matter content than legumes, the amount of dry matter yield produced per unit land area increased with increased legume ratio in the mixture due to the high fresh herbage yield of legumes in our study (Table 3).…”

This study was carried out at Experimental fields of Ege University Faculty of Agriculture Bornova/Izmir/Turkey, during the years of 2012-2014. Three different harvest dates (Early Spring, Mid Spring and Late Spring) and mixture rates (100+0%, 80+20%, 60+40%, 40+60%, 20+80% and 0+100%, respectively) of Persian clover (Trifolium resupinatum) with annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) were tested. The experiment was arranged in a split block design with three replications. As the average of 2 years results, highest yield were recorded in sole Persian clover sown as catch crop and harvested in late spring under Mediterrenean climatic conditions. The data also indicated that pure Persian cover sowing provided the highest green matter, dry matter and crude protein yields, being 36.04 t ha-1 , 5.61 t ha-1 and 89 kg ha-1 , respectively. Legume ratio, NDF and ADF concentrations increased by advancing harvest dates.

“…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).…”

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.
