Abstract:

This research was established in the 2018 cultivation season with the aim of identifying the productivity and quality characteristics of Italian grass varieties that will be grown in the ecological conditions of Bingöl. In the study, 6 Italian grass varieties (Devis, Baqueano, Caramba, Vallivert, Trinova, Vespolini) were used as plant material. The work has been carried out trially according to the trial pattern of random blocks. In the study; green herbs, dry herbs, raw protein productions, raw protein ratio, acid detergent unsoluble fiber (ADF) ratio, neutral detergent unsoluble fiber (NDF) ratio, digestible dry substance (SKM) ratio, dry substance consumption ratio (KMT) ratio, relative feed value (NYD) data were discussed. The result of the study; green herbs production 3377,33-4457,67 kg/day, dry herbs production 808,13-1051,83 kg/day, raw protein ratio 17,58-21,13, raw protein ratio 154,00-179,57 kg/day, ADF ratio 38,33-40,67, NDF ratio 55,00-63,37, SKM ratio 57,22-59,04, KMT ratio ranged from 1,893-2,183 and NYD 86,44-99,55. The study identified differences between varieties in terms of all characteristics except the ADF and SKM ratio examined. The highest green grass productivity in the Trinova variety, the highest dry grass productivity, the KMT ratio and the NYD Vallivert variety, the highest raw protein ratio in the Vespolini variety, the lowest NDF ratio in the Vallivert variety, the highest raw protein productivity and the SKM ratio in the Baqueano variety, the lowest ADF ratio in the Baqueano variety. As a result of these findings, it is recommended to plant the Baqueano variety in terms of green herbs and raw protein productions for the ecological conditions of Bingöl, and the Vallivert variety in terms of NDF, KMT and NYD.
