The purpose of this study was to
determine the effects of various feed additives and lignin peroxidase (LiP)
enzyme application on the quality and digestibility of some straws. Three
different straws (wheat straw, soybean straw and sorghum straw) with 4 different
treatment groups (Control, 4% urea, 10% molasses and 14% urea + molasses) were
used in the study and 8 treatment groups were established for each straw and
results were analyzed according to randomized factorial design. Daisy incubator
was used to determine the in vitro true digestibilities (IVTD) of straw. In this study,
molasses treated straws were the best among all treatment groups
in organoleptic analyze, it was also found that sorghum straws gave the best
results. Sorghum straw silage ranked first in terms of dry matter digestibility
(DMD), dry matter intake (DMI) and the relative feed value (RFV) (P<0.001).
In this study, it was found that the LiP enzyme did not significantly affect
the IVTD
and in
vitro digestibility of ADF (P>0.05) in straws. LiP enzyme
increased lignin digestibilities for all treatments. As conclusion, sorghum
straw was found to have higher feed value compared to other straws used in
present study.
