“…In the present experiment, the highest N-free extract (NFE) value (53.50%) was found in the hay. The results are similar to reported by DLG (1991) , Oshima et al (1988) , Fariani et al (1994) and Nishino et al (1995) . Lower NFE content especially in silage form (42.67%) indicates nutritive matter loss depending on silo water while the fact that it is high in the hay form may be associated with low N content in mid climate meadow grasses ( Marais and Goodenough, 2000 ).…”

“…Thus, Bernard et al (2002) reported CP values as 5.8% to 9.9% for Italian ryegrass silages. The finding regarding CP content of caramba hay is lower than the value found by Ohshima et al (1988 and 1991 ), DLG (1991) , Amrane and Michalet-Doreau (1993) , Fariani et al (1994) and Hannaway et al (1999) . However, this value is consistent with the result of the study ( Mccormick et al, 1998 ) reporting that Italian ryegrass hay contains less protein compared to its silage form.…”

“…These values are statistically significant (p<0.01). Findings about CF content of caramba fresh ( DLG, 1991 ; Lenuweit and Gharadjedaghi, 2002 ; Ximena and Rene Anrique, 2011 ), silage ( DLG, 1991 ; Nishino et al, 1995 ; Ridla and Uchida, 1998 ; Boyd et al, 2008 ; Cooke et al, 2008 ) and hay ( Ohshima et al, 1988 ; Fariani et al, 1994 ) are generally higher than those reported in the literature. On the other hand, it is reported that Italian ryegrasses are rich in water soluble carbohydrates and this richness is correlated with a generally slow growth rate and less dry content yield ( Marais and Goodenough, 2000 ).…”

“…Some of the differences between reports may be based on the difference between plant variety, growth age, soil structure, climate and pasture management ( Amrane and Michalet-Doreau, 1993 ; Aganga et al, 2004 ). Likewise, it is reported that nutritive value of roughage depends on morphological and physiological changes occurred during growth period ( Fariani et al, 1994 ).…”

The experiment was conducted to determine nutritive values of caramba (Lolium multiflorum cv. caramba) fresh, silage and hay by in vivo and in vitro methods. There was a statistically significant difference (p<0.01) in crude protein content value between fresh caramba (12.83%) and silage (8.91%) and hay (6.35%). According to results of experiment, the crude fiber, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber (ADF), acid detergent lignin contents of the three forms of caramba varied between 30.22% to 35.06%, 57.41% to 63.70%, 35.32% to 43.29%, and 5.55% to 8.86% respectively. There were no significant differences between the three forms of caramba in digestibility of nutrients and in vivo metabolizable energy (ME) values (p>0.05). However, the highest MECN (ME was estimated using crude nutrients) and MEADF values were found in fresh caramba (p<0.01). As a result, it could be said that, there were no differences between the three forms of caramba in nutrient composition, digestibility and ME value, besides drying and ensiling did not affect digestibility of hay. Consequently, caramba either as fresh, silage or hay is a good alternative source of forage for ruminants.

“…Optimal harvesting stage to increase yield and silage quality of maize, in literature, varied from tasseling stage (Fu et al, 2011), one-third milk line (Johnson et al, 2002), late dough stage (Vecchiettini et al, 2003) to two-thirds milk line stage (Fariani et al, 1994). When sorghum was harvested at late-milk, late-dough and hard-grain stages of maturity, higher nutritive values were noticed at late milk stage silages (Sonon and Bolsen, 1996).…”

Abstract. The objective of current study was to investigate the effects of flowering phase (maturity) i.e. early bloom (20% flowering), mid bloom (50% flowering) and full bloom (100% flowering) on chemical and physical characteristics of silages, made from Zea mays L., Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench and Avena sativa L. cereal fodders grown in subtropical conditions. The three fodders were harvested at three different maturity stages, chopped and ensiled in laboratory silos for 30 days fermentation period. The analysis of variance revealed that the increase in maturity from early to full bloom significantly (P < 0.05) increased dry matter (DM %) in maize (18.82±0.02 to 25.80±0.05), sorghum (20.65±0.01 to 29.47±0.01) and oat (17.68±0.01 to 26.54±0.01) silages, and decreased crude protein in all. The NDF and ADF increased with increase in maturity for sorghum and oats silage, while it decreased for maize silage. Lactic acid increased linearly (P < 0.05) with increasing maturity while pH, ME and in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) decreased. Stage of maturity also had significant effect on physical characteristics (color, smell and structure) of silage in all fodder crops. The highest flieg score was recorded in full bloom stage of maturity (100% flowering) due to low pH and higher DM recovery in all cereal silages. It was concluded from the current study that quality silages can successfully be made from cereal fodders grown in subtropical conditions.

Submergence Responses of Cool‐Season Annual Plants and Potential for Fish Habitat

The artificial water regimes of flood control reservoirs limit vegetation establishment in littoral zones and produce mudflats with limited habitat for juvenile fishes. One strategy to enhance habitat on mudflats is to sow cool‐season plants to provide submerged structure when inundated. However, how the structure of these plants persists following inundation has not been evaluated. To investigate the species‐specific responses of plants to inundation, we submerged six cool‐season annual plant cultivars in outdoor flow‐through tanks and monitored maximum height and density of plant structures over time. Time‐to‐event analyses and generalized linear models characterized differences in structural persistence between cultivars over time. Plantings degraded rapidly if inundated before plants matured. However, mature plants of Marshall ryegrass Lolium multiflorum and triticale Triticosecale provided dense structure that persisted for 3 months. As Marshall ryegrass degraded, the stem density decreased and produced wide gaps relative to triticale, which remained dense and complex. Differences in plant architecture during the senescence process following submergence may influence fish species and size class use. Our results indicate that cool‐season grasses have high potential as habitat enhancers due to long‐term persistence, and differences in plant structural characteristics may provide flexibility for managers to attract target fish species.
