dc.description.abstractIn present study, effects of different mixture ratios of cluster bean (CB) and maize (M) on silagefermentation and nutritional traits were investigated. Based on dry matter (DM) ratios, maize and cluster beanplants were mixed in five different ratios (100% M, 75% M+25% CB, 50% M+50% CB, 25% M+75% CB and 100%CB). Pure maize, cluster bean and mixture were ensiled for 60 days. Effects of mixture ratios on investigatedtraits were found to be highly significant (p?0.01). Increasing silage DM, ADF (acid detergent fiber), NDF(neutral detergent fiber), lactic acid, gas-methane production, metabolizable energy (ME) and organic matterdigestibility (OMD) values and decreasing pH levels were observed with increasing maize ratio of the mixtures.Increasing silage crude oil (CO), crude ash (CA) and crude protein (CP) content and volatile fatty acids (acetic,butyric and propionic) were observed with increasing cluster bean ratio of the mixtures. Present findingsrevealed that improvements were achieved in DM, pH, nutritional traits and ME of the silages with mixtures ofmaize and cluster bean. It was concluded that 25, 50 and 75% maize ratios in mixtures provided significantcontributions to silage quality.
