The aim of the current study was to determine silage quality of mixtures (100+0, 75+25, 50+50 and 25+75%) in hops (Humulus lupulus L.) “H” with corn (Zea mays L.) “C” and forage soybean (Glycine max. L) “FS". Harvest was done at dough stage for maize and at exact shape formation period of seeds in the bottom pods for soybean. Besides, a hop was provided from farmers, and post-harvest residues were used. Harvested plants were chopped to size 2 cm, and as three replication ensiled in 2 kg plastic jars as sole and mixtures. Then, the samples were taken fermentation at 25±2 °C during the 45 days. In the silage samples, dry matter, crude protein, crude ash, lactic acid, acetic acid, butyric acid, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and iron ratios were determined. High Flieg scores were obtained from the treatments excepted sole hops, and they were in good and very good quality class of silage. Crude protein content of silages ranged between 9.34% to 14.69%. The highest lactic acid was determined in 25 H+75 FS% with 8.429% while it was lowest in sole hops with 2.382%. The acetic acid ranged between 0.110-0.353%, and the butyric acid was not found. Mineral nutrients of silages were determined high. As a result, silage quality of hops and soybean mixture (25+75%) was superior compared to the other treatments.
