Abstract

The effects of dried citrus pulp on quality and ruminal degradability of dry matter and nutrients of Berseem clover was studied using a completely randomized design with five treatments including: Berseem clover 1) No additives, 2) supplemented with 40% dried orange peels, 3) supplemented with 40% dried tangerine peel, 4) supplemented with 35% dried tangerine peel and 5% barley grain, and 5) supplemented with 35% dried orange peels and 5% barley grain. The clover harvested before flowering stage and ensiled in a 100×50-cm plastic bag in three replicates. After 35 days, the plastic bags were opened and their chemical composition and ruminal degradation parameters were measured using the nylon bag technique. The pH and Fleight-point of silages were 4.10, 4.15, 4.25, 4.50 and 4.30; 81.00, 96.33, 83.00, 74.33, and 97.00 in treatments 1 to 5, respectively. Addition of dried cirtus pulp decreased neutral detergent fiber and crude protein content but increased dry matter and organic matter content. In comparison to the control, the fast degradation fraction of dry matter and neutral detergent fiber decreased in treatments 2 and 5 but increased in treatments 3 and 4 increased. The potentially degradable fraction of dry matter, protein and neutral detergent fiber were not significantly different between treatments. Neutral detergent fiber degradation rate was significantly affected by the different treatments was increased by the addition of dried citrus pulp. Dried citrus pulp improves the quality and increase the degradation of Berseem clover silage.
