This study was conducted to determine silage yield and quality characteristics of 22 silage maize varieties (ADA-9510, ADA-9516, ADA-523, AGA, Arifiye, Kalideas, Keravnos, Kerbanis, Kolessous, Kilowatt, Larigal, Sakarya, Samada-07, Simpatico, SY-Antex, SY-İnove, SY-Gladius, Dragma, Pioneer PR31G98, Pioneer P9027, Dekalp 6308 ve Dekalp 6442) in Bilecik ecological conditions during the 2020 year. The experiments were arranged in randomized blocks design with three replications. The harvest was done when the plants reached at dough stage. The harvested plant were chopped, filled in 2 kg plastic drums in 3 repetitions and stored during the fermentation period, at 25±2 °C in a dry and out of direct sunlight indoor environment. Silage yield, physical quality characteristics, Flieg score, lactic acid, acetic acid, butyric acid content, pH level, dry matter content, crude protein content, condensed tannin content, relative feed value (RFV), and some minerals contents were determined. Silage yields of the varieties were 5665.43 kg da-1 (Kalideas) 9971.30 kg da-1 (Sakarya), Flieg score 46.52 (Kolessous) - 98.59 (PR31G98), crude protein ratio 6.45% (Samada-07) - 8.95 (Ada-9510), relative feed value varied between 82.79 (Kolessous)-137.19 (ADA-9516). The highest lactic acid was from Arifiye (3.316), Sakarya (2.636%), Larigal (3.064%), Sy-Gladius (3.062%), and Dekalp 6308 (3.154%) varieties. The silages obtained from silage corn varieties, K content are between 1.867% (Kerbanis) and 3.203% (Kolessous), P content is 4.453% (Kalessous), 0.320% (SY-İnove), Ca content is 0.213% (Kerbanis)-0.490 (Kolessous) and The Mg content varied between 0.110% (Kerbanis)-0.217 (Dekalp 6308). As a result of the study, it was determined that silages made from Arifiye, Sakarya, Larigal, Sy-Antex, Sy-Gladius, PR31G98, P9027 and Dekalp varieties outperformed in terms of silage yield and quality characteristics which was investigated from other maize varieties in Bilecik ecological conditions.

In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the re-ensilage of corn silage with the addition of inoculant and organic acid at different times in terms of silage quality and aerobic stability. The herbal material of the study II. The product formed corn silage. Corn silage opened on the 150th day of the fermentation period was divided into 3 treatment groups. Treatment groups were formed from 1- Control, 2- Lactobacillus buchneri (LB) 3- Organic Acid (OA). In order to reveal the effect of the re-ensilage time, each treatment group was divided into sub-treatment groups within itself, and again ensiled and fermented at 6, 12 and 24 hours of the time it was exposed to oxygen. Chemical and microbiological analyzes were performed on silages opened on the 60th day of re-ensilage. In addition, in vitro gas production values of silages were determined. Aerobic stability test was applied to all silages opened during the ensiling period (60th day) for 7 days. Research results indicate that maize silages can be re-ensilaged without adding additives, but the use of organic acid in re-ensilage improves aerobic stability. According to the data obtained from the in vitro gas values of the feeds, the methane production of LB and OA silages at the 6th hour of the ensiling period from the 24 th to the 96th hour of the incubation period was found to be higher than the control group (P<0.05).

The research was carried out to determine the effect of bacterial inoculant (Lactobacillus)buncheri) on the chemical composition and the quality of the silages prepared from different forage crops and their mixtures. Sole silage of alfalfa, white clover, common vetch, soybean, chickpea, perinnal rygrass, wheat, triticale, oat and wild mustard, furthermore 15 different silageItype obtained from different proportions mixture such as (vetch 50%Itritikale 50%, vetch 50%Iwheat 50%, vetch 50%Ioat 50%, perinnel rygrass 60%Iwhite clover 40%, alfalfa 50%Iwheat50%) and Lactobacillus)buncheri doses of 5x105 CFU/g/fresh material were used as matarials in the research. The following measurment were recorded on silage materials: Crude protein ratio (CPR), neutral detergen fiber (NDF), acid detergant fiber (ADF), pH, degistieble dry matter ratio (DDMR) and relative feed value (RFV). Interaction of the spices, their mixtures and application of the inoculant in all examined traits were found statistically significant. Furthermore, all examined traits were statistically significantly influenced by application of the inoculant. Application of L. buncheri inoculant producing acetic acid decreased (CP ratio, DDMR and RFV) the silage and forage quality features, but increased NDF, ADF and pH ratioIas a result, it was determined that these application had a positive effect on the quality of the silage. Also, It was determined that wild mustard (Sinapsis)arvensis) may be used as a forage crop to make silage or added certain amount in rations due to contein high CPR, DDMR, RFV and low ratio NDF and ADF.
