Determination of Nutritive Value of Alfalfa Varieties Using in Vitro Methods and Gas Production Technique (original) (raw)

2017

Abstract

The aim of this experiment was to determine the feed value of different alfalfa lines developed and selected in Cukurova region conditions in the content of “Cukurova region Alfalfa breeding project” which was carried out by East Mediterranean Agricultural Research Institute. In the project NIMET was certified as new variety. The alfalfa lines were YSH 26-12 III, YSH 23-9 III, YSH 21-1 II, YSH 27-9 I, YSH 37-12 II, YSH 35-11 III, YSH 28-6 III, YSH 16-11 I, YSH 14-3 I, YSH 11-4. Certified variety NIMET was used as control. Alfalfas were harvested in the beginning of blooming in April. Chemical composition, metabolisable energy (ME), net energy lactation (NEL) and organic matter digestibility (OMD) of ten different selected lines and certified variety NIMET as control of Alfalfa were determined by Hohenheim in vitro gas production technique. In Hohenheim gas test incubation times were 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours. Crude protein, crude fiber, NDF, ADF contents were ranged betwe...
