AB  - Maize silage is widely used in the nutrition of ruminants worldwide. Nevertheless, maize is expensive and difficult to grow in cold and arid climates. To investigate the effects of feeding pure maize silage and different mixtures of maize and sunflower silages on the fattening performance of lambs. In the study, 40 Kıvırcık male lambs aged 2.5-3 months and with an average live weight of 23-25 kg were used as the animal material. The experiment was carried out for 56 days in a semi-open barn. In accordance with the experimental design, animals were divided into 5 different silage groups (100 maize silage, 75 maize silage+25 sunflower silage, 50 maize silage+50 sunflower silage, 25 maize silage+75 sunflower silage, 100% sunflower silage), so that there would be 8 lambs in each group. The lambs were housed in individual compartments during the experiment and fed individually. Silages were given ad libitum, and additional 700, 900, and 1,400 g concentrated feed was given daily between the 0th and 21st, 21st and 42nd, and 42nd and 56th days, respectively. During the fattening period, the values of live weight, daily live weight gain, feed consumption, and feed conversion ratio were determined. The differences among the live weight values of different silage groups during the trial period were found to be not significant (p>0.05), and the values obtained at the end of 8 weeks varied between 35.94 and 37.44 kg. The silage consumption of lambs fed different silage types showed significant differences (p

N2  - Mısır silajı, dünya genelinde geviş getiren hayvanların beslenmesinde yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, mısır, soğuk ve kurak iklimlerde pahalı ve yetiştirilmesi zor bir üründür. Mısır silajı ile mısır ve ayçiçeği silajlarının farklı karışımlarının kuzuların besi performansı üzerindeki etkilerini araştırmak amacıyla yapılan çalışmada, hayvan materyali olarak 2,5-3 aylık yaşta ve ortalama canlı ağırlığı 23-25 kg olan 40 adet Kıvırcık erkek kuzu kullanılmıştır. Deney, yarı açık bir ahırda 56 gün boyunca gerçekleştirilmiştir. Deney düzenine göre, hayvanlar 5 farklı silaj grubuna (100 mısır silajı, %75 mısır silajı+%25 ayçiçeği silajı, %50 mısır silajı+%50 ayçiçeği silajı, %25 mısır silajı+%75 ayçiçeği silajı, %100 ayçiçeği silajı) ayrılmıştır ve her grupta 8 kuzu bulunmuştur. Kuzular, deney süresince bireysel bölmelerde barındırılmış ve bireysel olarak beslenmiştir. Silajlar ad libitum verilmiş ve ek olarak 0-21, 21-42 ve 42-56 günleri arasında günlük sırasıyla 700, 900 ve 1400 g konsantre yem verilmiştir. Besi süresince, canlı ağırlık, günlük canlı ağırlık artışı, yem tüketimi ve yem dönüşüm oranı değerleri belirlenmiştir. Deneme süresince farklı silaj gruplarının canlı ağırlık değerleri arasındaki farklılıklar önemli bulunmamıştır (p>0.05) ve 8 hafta sonunda elde edilen değerler 35.94 ile 37.44 kg arasında değişmiştir. Farklı silaj türleriyle beslenen kuzuların silaj tüketimi, 0-2 ve 6-8 haftalarında önemli farklılıklar göstermiştir (p
