Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of harvest stage of corn on the quality of square baled corn silage manufactured with corn grown in paddy land of Department of Animal Resources Development, National Institute of Animal Science, RDA from 2009 to 2010. Corn "Kwangpyungok" was harvested at three different growth stages (milk, yellow ripen and ripen stage) and ensiled at each harvest time. Square baled corn silage was manufactured by use of square silage wrapping compressor. Each treatment was replicated three times. The content of crude protein (CP) of corn in square baled corn silage decreased with delayed maturity, but the content of ADF (acid detergent fiber), NDF (neutral detergent fiber), TDN (total digestible nutrient) and in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) were not changed. The content of moisture, pH and the nutritive values at three different harvest stages were not influenced by the method of silage manufacture and inoculant. The content of lactate of square baled corn silage harvested in milk stage of corn was significantly increased, as compared with that of round baled corn silage (P<0.05), but in stage of yellow ripen was significantly decreased (P<0.05). The content of acetate in square baled corn silage significantly decreased with delayed harvest maturity, as compared with that of round baled corn silage (P<0.05). Flieg's score of square baled corn silage harvested in milk stage of corn was slightly higher than that of round baled corn silage, but Flieg's scores in yellow ripen stage and ripen stage were not influenced by the method of silage manufacture. Flieg's score with delayed maturity was not influenced by the method of silage manufacture and inoculant. The manufacture of square baled corn silage was proved to be suitable for the fermentation of corn silage. Therefore, this study suggest that square baled corn silage can be a way of new silage manufacture technique.
본 시험은 수확시기가 옥수수 사각 압축곤포사일리지의 품질에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 2009년부터 2010년까지 국립축산과학원에서 수행되었다. 옥수수 사일리지 전용 품종인 광평옥을 이용하여 숙기별 3회(유숙기, 황숙기 및 완숙기)에 걸쳐 수확을 하여 사일리지로 조제하였다. 숙기가 진행됨에 따라 옥수수 원형곤포 사일리지의 조단백질 함량은 감소하는 경향을 보였으나(P<0.05) ADF 및 NDF 함량은 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 그리고 TDN 및 in vitro 건물소화율도 비슷하였다. 숙기별 수분함량, pH 및 사료가치는 사일리지 제조 방법 및 젖산균에 의해 영향을 받지 않았다. 유숙기에서 옥수수 사각 압축곤포 사일리지의 젖산 함량은 원형곤포 사일리지보다 현저하게 증가하였으나(P<0.05) 황숙기에서는 현저하게 감소하였다(P<0.05). 숙기별 사각 압축곤포 사일리지의 초산 함량은 원형곤포 사일리지보다 현저하게 감소하였다(P<0.05). 유숙기에서 옥수수 사각 압축곤포 사일리지의 Flieg's score는 원형곤포 사일리지보다 약간 증가하였으나 황숙기와 완숙기에는 비슷한 경향을 나타냈다. 그리고 옥수수 사각 압축곤포 사일리지와 원형곤포 사일리지의 Flieg's score는 젖산균에 의해서 영향을 받지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 옥수수사각 압축곤포 사일리지는 새로운 사일리지 제조방법이 될 수 있고 또한 양질의 옥수수 사일리지 발효에 적합한 것으로 나타났다.
