Silage; They are feed pickles obtained by storing green plants under anaerobic conditions. It provides an important source of roughage during the winter months and is of interest to producers for many reasons. The most cultivated silage product is corn. Maize is an important source of feed for large ruminant and small ruminant in their rations. However, maize is a hot season crop and the yield is adversely affected by the lack of precipitation in arid and semi-arid regions. At the same time, intensive use of fertilizers is needed for satisfactory maize production. Sorghum; It has been reported that it can tolerate soils with less fertile water use efficiency compared to maize in arid, semi-arid and high salinity areas. Sorghum production has low water needs and agriculture requirements. Ryegrass; Lolium spp. is a key fodder crop in temperate regions. Ryegrass silage; It stood out for yield, digestibility, water-soluble carbohydrate content, quality and durability. In addition, ryegrass cultivation stands out as an advantageous aspect as it allows more than one mowing. Profitable livestock farming; it depends on the cost of forage and the consumption of concentrated feed. If the silage making techniques are applied correctly, the producer can obtain the roughage from ryegrass, sorghum and corn silages. Profitable, high yield parameters and sustainable livestock activities can be done.

Mısır Silajına Alternatif Olarak Sorgum ve Ryegrass Silajlarının Değerlendirilmesi

Öz

Silaj; yeşil bitkilerin anaerobik koşullarda depolanmasıyla elde edilen yem turşularıdır. Kış aylarında önemli kaba yem kaynağı sağlamaktadır ve birçok nedenden dolayı üreticiler için ilgi çekicidir. En çok tarımı yapılan silaj ürünü mısırdır. Mısır büyük ruminant ve küçük ruminatlar için rasyonlarının önemli bir yem kaynağıdır. Ancak mısır, sıcak mevsim mahsulü olup, kurak ve yarı kurak bölgelerde yağış eksikliğinden verim olumsuz etkilenir. Aynı zamanda tatmin edici mısır üretimi için yoğun gübre kullanımına ihtiyaç vardır. Sorgum; kurak, yarı kurak ve yüksek tuzlu alanlarda su kullanım verimliliği mısırla karşılaştırıldığında daha az verimli olan toprakları tolere edebileceği bildirilmiştir. Sorgum daha az su ihtiyacına ve tarım gereksinimlerine sahiptir. Ryegrass; Lolium spp.’leri ılıman bölgelerde bir anahtar rol oynayan yem bitkisidir. Ryegrass silajı; verim, sindirilebilirlik, suda çözünebilir karbonhidrat içeriği, kalite ve dayanıklılık için öne çıkmıştır. Ayrıca ryegrass yetiştirciliği birden fazla biçime imkan vermesi avantajlı bir yön olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Karlı hayvancılık yapmak; kaba yemin maliyetine ve konsantre yemin tüketime bağlıdır. Silaj yapım teknikleri doğru uygulanırsa üretici kaba yemi büyük ölçüde ryegrass, sorgum ve mısır silajlarından sağlayabilir. Bu sayede karlı, verim parametreleri yüksek ve sürdürülebilir bir hayvancılık faaliyeti yapılabilir.
