Abstract

Forage amaranth (var. Maria) and corn were ensiled in plastic bags, for a period of 60 days, with 5 replicates. Chemical composition, oxalic acid, nitrate and phenolic compounds of the samples were measured. In vitro ruminal fermentation and ME were determined using a gas production method, and in situ degradability by nylon bags using 3 fistulated rams. Crude protein were 80 and 199 g/kg DM for fresh corn and amaranth, and 75 and 180 g/kg DM for ensiled corn and amaranth, respectively, which indicate higher (P<0. 05) protein in fresh and ensiled amaranth compared with corn. Forage corn was contained higher DM, WSC and NDFom in comparison with amaranth, while ash was greater in amaranth (P<0. 05). The pH of corn and amaranth silages was 3. 8 and 4. 1, respectively. The amounts of nitrate, oxalic acid, total phenolics and total tannin in corn silage were lower than amaranth silage (P<0. 05). In vitro organic matter digestibility, ME and effective degradability of ensiled amaranth were lower (P<0. 05) than those in corn silage, but microbial protein and metabolizable protein were greater (P<0. 05) in amaranth silage. Overall, nutrients composition and fermentability parameters of amaranth (var. Maria) were comparable to corn silage, with higher crude protein content. amaranth can be preserved as a valuable silage to feed ruminants in arid area.
