The effects of lactic acid bacteria and inoculants mixture enzyme on fermentation and feed value of vetch (vicia narbonensis l.) silage

Narbon vetch (Vicia narbonensis L.) requires lower rainfall than chickpeas, faba beans and lentils and may be proven a better legume alternative in ratio systems. Vetch was used in this trial as the silage material. This study carried out to determine the effects of lactic acid bacteria and inoculants as silage additives, on the fermentation and aerobic stability of vetch silage. Vicia narbonensis was harvested pot setting period and ensiled in silos type of glass containers. Each application consists of 3 parallel. Chemical and microbiological analyses, were conducted on the silage which was opened on the 45th day after it was ensiled. According to the analysis; control, LAB and LAB + enzyme groups of dry matter 23.03, 21.83, 22.52, pH 4.11, 4.00, 4.15, ammonia-nitrogen; 70.19, 129.44, 106.00 found. In conclusion, it was evaluated that chemical, pyhsical, and microbiological qualities increease with the addition of LAB and LAB + enzyme to the narbon vetch silage. Also use to narbon vetch silage material useful for storage conditions.
