(Garuda Scientific Publications, 2006) Bingol, N. Tugba; Karsli, M. Akif; Bolat, Duran; Akca, Ismail
To determine the effects of sulphuric acid (H2SO4) and molasses (M) on silage quality and in vitro dry matter digestibility, barley (157137 Tokak) and Hungarian vetch (Viciapannonica Crantz) were planted together at the rate of 3:1 and harvested at the milk stage of barley and conserved in 1 kg jar, laboratory silos. Silages were treated with no additive (control silage), 6% M, 0.3% 2N H2SO4, 0.3% 4N H2SO4, 0.3% 2N H2SO4 + 6% M and 0.3% 4N H2SO4 + 6% M. Dry matter was significantly higher in silages treated with molasses and with 4N H2SO4 + M (P < 0.05). Ash, organic matter, crude protein, neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber concentrations were not affected by additives. The pH values were significantly lower in silages treated with 2N H2SO4 and 4N H2SO4 (P < 0.05). Silages treated with molasses, 2N H2SO4 and 2N H2SO4 + M had significantly higher lactic acid concentrations (P < 0.05). The addition of 2N H2SO4 + M and 4N H2SO4, + M into silages increased silage propionic acid levels (P < 0.05). In vitro dry matter digestibility of silages with additives, except 4N H2SO4 + M, were significantly higher compared with control (P < 0.05). Addition of molasses and 2N H2SO4 may be considered to improve quality of barley + Hungarian vetch bi crop silage.
The Effects of Planting Time and Combination on the Nutrient Composition and Digestible Dry Matter Yield of Four Mixtures of Vetch Varieties Intercropped With Barley
(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2007) Bingol, N. Tugba; Karsli, M. Akif; Yilmaz, I. Hakki; Bolat, Duran
The aim of this study was to determine the chemical composition, digestibility, energy content, and digestible dry matter yield of 4 mixtures of different vetch varieties intercropped with the same barley at 3 different planting times under Eastern Anatolian conditions. Four different vetch species, i.e. common (Farukbey-2001), Hungarian (Tarim Beyazi-98), hairy (Selcuklu-2002), and wooly pod (Segmen-2002), intercropped with barley (Tokak-157) were utilized. The mixtures of vetches intercropped with barley were planted on 7 October 2003 (I), 7 November 2003 (II), and 10 April 2004 (III), and each variety/planting time was randomly assigned to 3 replications. The mixtures of vetches intercropped with barley were harvested by hand using clippers when the barley started spiking and vetches were at 1/4 flowering. All samples were analyzed for dry matter (DM), ash, crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and acid detergent fiber (ADF) content. In vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) of the samples was also determined. While DM and organic matter (OM) content did not differ, CP, NDF, and AIDE content were significantly different among the different mixtures of vetch intercropped with barley (P < 0.05). IVDMD, metabolizable energy (ME), and net energy lactation (NEL) values were also significantly different among the mixtures of vetch intercropped with barley (P < 0.05). Digestible DM and ME yield of the mixtures were significantly affected by planting time (P < 0.05), but not variety. However, CP yield of the vetch-barley mixtures was significantly affected by both planting time and variety (P < 0.05). It can be concluded that all of the mixtures of vetch intercropped with barley had significantly higher digestible DM and CP yield when planted on 7 October 2003. Thus, October should be preferred for planting of the mixtures of vetch intercropped with barley in Eastern Anatolia. If a greater CP yield in addition to digestible DM yield is desired from vetch-barley hay, then common vetch should not be the choice.
A Study on Growth, Slaughter and Carcass Traits of Morkaraman and Kivircik X Morkaraman (F1) Lambs in Semi-Intensive Condition
(Kafkas Univ, veteriner Fakultesi dergisi, 2012) Ozturk, Yahya; Kucuk, Mursel; Karsli, M. Akif
This study was carried out to compare the growth, slaughter and carcass characteristics of Morkaraman (Pure) and Kivircik X Pure (F-1) (Cross-bred) lambs in semi-intensive condition. At this study 20 Pure and 22 Cross-breed lambs were used for growth traits; 6 male lambs from each group were slaughtered for slaughter and carcass traits. Growth was investigated from the birth to 150th day. The lambs were fed with alfalfa and lamb fattening feeds (days 45). The least squares mean of birth weight and 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150th day weight were 4.06 +/- 0.10 and 4.25 +/- 0.11, 9.93 +/- 0.26 and 8.76 +/- 0.26 (P < 0.01), 16.87 +/- 0.45 and 14.40 +/- 0.45 (P < 0.001), 23.21 +/- 53 and 21.72 +/- 0.52 (P < 0.05), 29.62 +/- 0.64 and 26.69 +/- 0.63, 34.93 +/- 0.80 and 35.85 +/- 0.79 kg. Dressing percentages were 48.49 and 45.03% (P < 0.01); the percentages of leg were 28.36 and 32.23% (P < 0.001); shoulder were 17.04 and 17.51%; back were 5.67 and 7.38% (P < 0.001); loin were 6.14 and 6.26%; others were 24.31 and 28.62% (P < 0.001); kidney were 0.63 and 0.72% (P < 0.001); kidney-pelvic channel fat were 0.64 and 0.95 (P < 0.01); internal fat were 1.21 and 1.73%; fat tail were 15.72 and 4.64% (P < 0.001). The percentages of lean meat in the leg were 64.20 and 65.57%; fat were 15.55 and 13.42%; bone were 20.25 and 21.02%. The percentages of lean meat in the shoulder were 65.64 and 63.00%; fat were 13.55 and 13.90%; bone were 20.82 and 23.11%. The percentages of total meat in the carcass were 48.01 and 55.09% (P < 0.05); fat were 16.21 and 16.96%; bone were 19.55 and 21.44%; and fat percentages in the tailed carcass were 31.93 and 21.55% for pure and Cross-breed lambs respectively. In conclusion; it has been though that Kivircik rams can be utilized for breeding with Pure Morkaraman ewes, commonly found in the region, to obtain lambs with high quality meat at slaughtering age without adaptation problem; and desired lean meat can be obtained via grazing in addition to cross breeding.
