dc.description.abstractThe effect of different harvesting times on some silage quality of maize, sorghum and sorghumxsudangrass hybrids grown as in a split plot design with 3 replicates during second crop in semi and condition were evaluated. In this research, whole plant silage chemical composition and DM digestibilities on different times, measured in vivo were determined. For this purpose, 2 maize (DK 711, TTM 815), 2 sorghum (Sucro sorgo 506, FS 5) arid 2 sorghum-sudangrass hybrids (P 988, Grazer N2) cultivars were harvested at 3 different maturity stages (mid-flowering-MF, milkline-ML and hard dough-HD). The chopped materials were ensilaged in 10 L anaerobic jars, for 60 days. Silage samples were dried (CP, FP, pH, ADF, NDF contents were measured) and incubated in fistulated 3 Holstein Friesian heifers for determining dry matter digestibility. Significant differences were found between plant cultivars and harvesting Stages for all investigated parameters. The dry matter yields varied between 12654.2 and 25340.1 kg ha(-1). The highest dry matter yield was obtained from Sucro Sorgo 506 with ML and HD. Dry matter content of silages were changed from 20.63% (in silage sorghum cv. FS 5) to 27.36% (in sorghum-sudangrass hybrids cv. Grazer N2), pH (3.84 in FS 5 and 3.98 in TTM 815), Fleig point (FP) (90.87 in TTM 815 arid 104.6 in Grazer N2), Crude Protein (CP) was 3.92% in GrazerN2 and 6.64% in FS 5, ADF was 44.56% in DK 711 arid 49.33% in SS 506, NDF was 59.56% in DK 711 and 65.70% in P 988, whereas in vivo DM digestibility at 12 h was 32.82% in SS 506 arid 38.91% in TTM 815. Crop maturity increased satistically significantly, silage DM varied from 20.43-25.92% and in vivo digestibility of DM at 12 h varied from 32.56-37.66%, however significantly decreased. ADF decreased from 50.17-42.56%, NDF decreased from 64.71-59.62%), WSC (Water Soluble Carbohyrates) increased from (24.59-30.24%). CP decreased from 5.59-5.05%. pH was between 3.78-4.10 arid Fleig point was between 94.66-97.58. These Values were not changed statistically, when crop maturity increased. Incubation periods were 0, 12, 24, 48 arid 72 11 for determining dry matter digestibility by using nylon bag technique. Silage NDF values were decreased from flowering to milkline stages. It was concluded that silages in vivo DM digestibility were increased with maturity at 12 h rumen incubation.en_US
