Determination of Feeding Values of Different Grain Corn (Zea mays L.) Varieties

In this research, 10 RX-9292, SHEMALL, OSSK-602, 71 MAY 69, OSSK-596, OSSK-644, TK-6063, 72-MAY-80, HIDO and TK-6060 maize types were used in the experiment areas of the Agricultural Faculty of I？d？r University. In this study, CP (Crude protein), NDF (Neutral Detergent Fiber), ADF (Acid Detergent Fiber) ADL (Acid Detergent Lignin), DMD (Dry matter digestibility), DE (Digestible energy), ME (Metabolizable energy), DMI (Dry matter intake), RFV (Relative feed value) contents of grain of corn varieties was determined. The random blocks were set up with three replications according to the trial design. According to the results obtained, the highest crude protein ratios were obtained from RX-9292, SHEMALL, OSSK-602, and 71 MAY 69 varieties. The lowest NDF (Neutral Detergent Fiber) and ADF (Acid Detergent Fiber) ratios were 26.8% and 2.72%, respectively, of 71 MAY 69. The highest DMD (Dry matter digestibility) was 86.8%, the digestible energy value was 3.98 Mcal kg-1, the metabolic energy value was 3.27 Mcal kg-1, the highest DMI (Dry matter intake) was 4.54% and the RFV (Relative feed value) was highest at 305.5 71 MAY 69 genotype may be suggested for animal feding.
