Abstract

Maize is the most cultivated plant for silage making in all over the World due to its many advantages such as producing high yield, suitable for mechanization and easy to ensile. However, the most important shortcoming property of maize silage is insufficiency of protein content. This study was planned for resolving this problem to a certain extent by growing maize with legume in the field as intercrop without any decrease in maize stand. Silage pH was significantly decreased in all intercropping patterns, regardless to legume, compared to sole maize, however, all pH values were enough low indicating a sufficient fermentation has occurred in the silo. Intercropping maize with soybean increased dry matter recovery (DMR), dry matter intake (DMI) and relative feed value (RFV) compared to sole crop maize. The NDF values of intercropped maize were better than that of pure maize resulting increases in DMI. Intercropping maize with any legumes caused an increase in crude protein (CP) content.

Mısır ve Bazı Baklagillerin Birlikte Üretimi ile Silaj Yem Kalitesini Artırma Olanakları

Abstract

Mısır bitkisi yüksek verimliliği, mekanizasyona uygunluğu ve silolanmasının kolay olması gibi birçok avantajları nedeniyle dünyanın her yerinde silaj amacıyla en fazla yetiştirilen bitkidir. Bununla birlikte, mısır bitkisinin en önemli dezavantajı, yetersiz protein içeriğidir. Bu çalışma, mısır bitki sıklığını azaltmadan, karışım halinde bazı baklagil bitkilerini (maş fasülyesi, sırık fasülye, börülce ve soya) de yetiştirerek, bu sorunu belli ölçüde çözmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışmada saf mısır ve karışımlar, Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam Üniversitesi Ziraat Fakültesi deneme alanında yetiştirilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, baklagil bitki türüne bakılmaksızın tüm birlikte üretim sistemlerinde silaj pH değerinin saf mısıra göre önemli derecede arttığı, bununla birlikte, tüm pH değerlerinin silo içerisinde iyi bir fermentasyonu işaret edecek şekilde yeteri kadar düştüğü görülmüştür. Mısırın soya fasulyesi ile birlikte yetiştirilmesinin, saf mısıra göre, kuru madde korunumunu, kuru madde tüketimini ve oransal yem değerini artırdığı belirlenmiştir. Birlikte üretimden elde edilen NDF değerlerinin saf mısır değerlerine göre daha düşük olduğu ve kuru madde tüketimini olumlu etkilediği belirlenmiştir. Mısır bitkisini herhangi bir baklagil ile birlikte yetiştirmenin ham protein içeriğinde artışlara neden olduğu saptanmıştır.
