Description of the research topic:

High quality forage is the base of every lactating dairy ration. Corn silage and alfalfa hay require significant amounts of water to produce acceptable yields. However due to the prevailing climate change forced farmers to find other forage sources to replace corn silage in the diet of dairy cows. Mixtures of winter cereals and Italian ryegrass silage together to replace corn silage for high producing dairy cows in areas where corn production is failed due to different circumstances particularly climate change could be an alternative. Therefore this study is aimed to investigate the following parameters of two mixtures of Italian ryegrass and winter-cereals: chemical composition, ensiling process and aerobic stability, in sacco ruminal degradability, ruminal fermentation, net energy and metabolisable protein content.
