The Nutritive Value of Green Berseem (Egyptian Clover), Hay and Silage1

Fouad I University

Abstract

The starch value and digestible protein of fresh berseem were higher than those of both hay and silage made by different methods. A.I.V. silage was superior to hay whereas partially-dried silage had about the same amount as hay. It was also clearly shown that the starch value given by a feddan (4200 sq. meters) of berseem was higher than that produced when it was transformed into hay and silage. The starch value produced from a feddan of A.I.V. silage was found to be higher than that of hay made from the same mother berseem, whereas that of "nothing-added" or molassed silage was lower than that of hay. The amount of starch value produced from a feddan of partially-dried silage was nearly equal to that of hay made from the same mother berseem.
