ABSTRACT / САЖЕТАК:

Silage is a byproduct of carefully regulated fermentation that takes place in anaerobic environments where oxygen is absent and is fed to farm animals. When it comes to biomass quality, yield, ensiling suitability, and variety of uses in domestic animal diets, maize is the most significant fodder plant. Four commercial hybrids from the Maize Research Institute Zemun Polje were investigated in this study at four separate locations in Serbia. The amount of lignocellulosic fibers, dry matter content, and digestibility of the whole hybrid maize plant were evaluated. Based on the obtained results of ZP, corn hybrids are characterized by high digestibility of dry matter of the whole corn plant.
