Determining the pptimal time to harvest corn and corn silage method for livestock
Two experiments were conducted from July to December 2019 at Ruminant Ressearch and Development Center to determine the optimal time to harvest and the silage method for LVN-10 corn stalks. In the first experiment, experimental layout completely randomized in 3 treatment was repeated 3 times: T1 - Harvesting corn at the mature seed stage: T2 - Harvesting corn plants at the mature seed stage: T3 - Harvesting corn plants at the horseshoe seed stage. In the second experiminent 2: Experimental layout completely randomized in 3 treatment was repeated 3 times with different levels of additive addition: M1 – additional 0.5% salt; M2 – additionnal 0.5% salt + 3.0% molasses; M3 – additionnal 0,5% salt + 0.2% urea. Research results showed that harvest corn LVN -10 at stage ripe corn kernel had the best for productivity 45.1 tons/ha and nutritional value DM, CP, EE about 10.5; 0.77 and 0.16 tons/ha. ME value about 24314.1 kcal. LVN – 10 corn stalks additional incubation 0.5% salt + 3% molasses for best quality, products are yellowish green and brownish, a mildly sour taste smells good molasses soft and dry and no mold.
