Determination of Forage Quality Properties of Plant Parts in Different Amaranth Varieties Cultivated Under Irrigated and Rainfed Conditions
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).
