Abstract

Different losses (washing losses, mechanical losses etc) occurred during field drying process of
forages lead to losses in nutrient contents, especially protein and soluble carbohydrates. The extent of these losses
increases due to the field drying time of forages. This fact encouraged the researchers to find methods which
enable the rapid movement of forages from field to barn. One of these methods is to use microbial preservatives
which enable the storage of forages with high moisture levels (27-28%) without any quality losses. In this study, it
was discussed the possibilities of using microbial preservatives for conservation of forages.

YEM BİTKİLERİNİN MUHAFAZASINDA ALTERNATİF BİR YAKLAŞIM: MİKROBİYAL KORUYUCULAR

Abstract

Kaba yemlerin kurutulması sırasında farklı şekillerde gerçekleşen olaylar (yıkanma kayıpları, mekanik kayıplar vb) başta protein ve çözünebilir karbonhidratlar olmak üzere tüm besin maddelerinde kayıplara neden olmaktadır. Bu kayıpların düzeyi kaba yemlerin kurutulmak üzere tarlada bekletilme süresinin uzamasına bağlı olarak artmaktadır. Bu durum araştırıcıları kaba yemlerin mümkün olan en kısa sürede tarladan depoya kaldırılmasına imkan verecek yolları araştırmaya yönlendirmiştir. İşte bu yollardan birisi de kaba yemlerin yüksek nem düzeylerinde (%27-28) herhangi bir kalite kaybına uğramaksızın depolanmalarını sağlayan mikrobiyal koruyucuların kullanılmasıdır. Bu çalışmada, kaba yemlerin muhafazasında mikrobiyal koruyucuların kullanım imkânları irdelenmiştir
