Assessing the fodder quality during corn ensiling in mixture with lucerne

Abstract

Laboratory examinations and scientific production experience have been conducted for determining fodder advantages of the ensilage from maize and maize-lucerne mixture in four variants: 80% maize and 20 % lucerne; 75 and 25; 70 and 30; 60 and 40 %. It has been determined that the correlation of 70 % maize and 30 % lucerne - the most optimal in complex assessment of the quality - to organoleptic properties and biochemical indicators.
