Study on Mixed Silage of Alfalfa and Whole Plant Corn

Abstract:

This experiment studies the optimal mixing ratio of alfalfa and whole corn for silage. The test set alfalfa singlestorage group, corn singlestorage group, and the ratio of alfalfa to whole plant rice and corn were 25∶75, 33∶67, 40∶60, 50∶50, 60∶40, 67∶33, 75∶25 respectively. There are 7 mixed silage groups. These are a total of 9 treatment groups. The results showed that compared with alfalfa single storage, mixed silage could effectively improve the fermentation quality of silage, but the nutritional quality was lower. Among all the mixed silage treatments, the fermentation quality of the mixed silage in the groups with the ratio of alfalfa to whole plant rice corn at 60∶40, 67∶33, and 75∶25 was better. Among the three groups, the mixed silage with a mixing ratio of 60∶40 had the highest relative feeding and could be popularized and applied in production.
