Effect of ammoniation on nutritive value of alfalfa hay
2000
Abe, H. (Hokkaido. Takikawa Animal Husbandry Experiment Station (Japan))
To improve of nutritive value of third-cutting alfalfa hay, ammoniation was carried out. Alfalfa was treated with 3% of anhydrous ammonia in dry matter basis, and digestion trial using 4 weathers was conducted. Ammoniation resulted in higher nitrogen and lower hemicellulose content. Ammoniation did not increase voluntary intake and digestibilities of dry matter, organic matter, fiber component except hemicellulose, and lowered nitrogen digestibility. Only hemicellulose digestibility was increased with ammoniation. From the above results, it was recognized that ammoniation had less effect to improve nutritive value of alfalfa hay
