Abstract

This study was carried out with the aim of determining of using sugar beet head and leaves (SBHL) pelleted with different additives in ruminant nutrition. In this study, two feed types (pelleted-granulated) were used and four treatment groups (control, urea (2.5%), molasses (7%) and urea+molasses (2.5%+7%) were formed. The nutrient contents, relative feed values (RFV) and in vitro true digestibilities (IVTD) were determined in all groups. The randomized parcels experimental design was used in statistical analysis. In present study, it was determined that fresh form had higher nutritive value and also all the groups had higher RVF and forage quality. Furthermore, it was determined that pelleted form with molasses addition had higher forage quality for all the forms except for fresh form and pelleting had positive effect on IVTD. It was concluded that dried SBHL could be used as forage source in animal nutrition that use of additives increased the feed value and that pelleting had positive effetcts.
