Abstract

There is not enough information about how the feed quality changes according to plant parts and growing conditions in Amaranth species used as an alternative feed source. For this purpose, a three-replication study was conducted in randomized blocks according to the split plot design to determine the feed value of leaves, clusters and stems of Helios, Sterk and Ultra cultivars grown under irrigated and dry conditions in 2017-2018. The results of the study showed that the highest crude protein (HP), dry matter digestibility (KMS), metabolic energy (ME), relative feed value (NYD) and lowest natural solvent insoluble fiber (NDF) and acid solvent insoluble fiber (ADF) contents. showed that it was obtained from Ultra grown in irrigated conditions. On the other hand, the highest cluster and stem HP ratio was determined in Helios grown under irrigated conditions, while the highest cluster and stem HP were determined in KMS, ME and NYD cultivars grown in irrigated Ultra and Helios grown in dry conditions. In addition, HP, KMS, ME and NYD of leaves were higher than clusters and stems, whereas NDF and ADF contents were lower, respectively. As a result, it was revealed that the leaves and inflorescences of the examined cultivars produced a higher quality forage material under irrigated conditions, while the stems produced a lower quality forage material in dry (except HP).

Sulu ve Kuru Koşullarda Yetiştirilen Farklı Amarant Çeşitlerinde Bitki Kısımlarının Yem Kalite Özelliklerinin Belirlenmesi

Abstract

Alternatif yem kaynağı olarak kullanılan Amarant türlerinde yem kalitesinin bitki kısımları ve yetişme koşullarına göre nasıl bir değişim gösterdiği konusunda yeterli bilgi bulunmamaktadır. Bu amaçla, 2017-2018 yıllarında sulu ve kuru koşullar altında yetiştirilen Helios, Sterk ve Ultra çeşitlerinin yaprak, salkım ve sapların yem değerini belirlemek için tesadüf bloklarında bölünmüş parseller deneme desenine göre üç tekerrürlü bir çalışma yürütülmüştür. Araştırma sonuçları en yüksek ham protein (HP), kuru madde sindirilebilirliği (KMS), metabolik enerji (ME), nispi yem değeri (NYD) ile en düşük doğal çözücülerde çözünemeyen lif (NDF) ve asit çözücülerde çözünemeyen lif (ADF) içeriklerinin sulu koşullarda yetiştirilen Ultra’dan elde edildiğini gösterdi. Diğer taraftan en yüksek salkım ve sap HP oranı sulu koşullarda yetiştirilen Helios’da belirlenirken, en yüksek salkım ve sap KMS, ME ve NYD ise suluda yetiştirilen Ultra ile kuruda yetiştirilen Helios çeşitlerinde tespit edildi. Ayrıca yaprakların HP, KMS, ME ve NYD sırasıyla salkım ve saplardan daha yüksek, oysa NDF ve ADF içerikleri ise daha düşük bulundu. Sonuç olarak incelenen çeşitlerin yaprak ve salkımları sulu koşullar altında daha yüksek kalitede, sapları ise kuruda (HP hariç) daha düşük kalitede bir yem materyali ürettiği ortaya konulmuştur. sapları ise kuruda (HP hariç) daha düşük kalitede bir yem materyali ürettiği ortaya konulmuştur.
