Overview

Research demonstrates improved silage quality and digestibility in forage turnip with additives in ruminants.

Key Points

  • The aim is to assess the impact of harvest stage and feed additives on silage quality, digestibility, and energy content of forage turnip.
  • Forage turnip harvested at beginning, middle, and end of flowering stage.
  • Ensiled with no additives, 5% molasses, or 4% ground barley.
  • Measured pH, nutrient contents, ammonia nitrogen, volatile fatty acids, and digestibility parameters.
  • Progression of the vegetative stage significantly affected dry matter and nutrient contents.
  • Additives increased dry matter, organic matter, and energy contents while reducing fiber levels.
  • Overall digestibility and energy values decreased with advancing vegetative stage, but increased with additives.
