The Effects of Different Clipping Stubbles and Harvest Times in a Day on Fermentation Quality and in Vitro Ruminal Fermentation Characteristics of Alfalfa Silage
Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of different diurnal harvest times and clipping stubbles on alfalfa silage quality, furthermore, to evaluate its feeding value. Two-factors were designed in this study. Budding stage alfalfa was harvested twice at 08 : 00 (AM), 13 : 00 (M) or 18:00 (PM) on a sunny day. Silages were prepared using a laboratory scale system without wilting, and stored at ambient temperature for 45 days. …
