Green Fodder Yield, Dry Fodder Yield, Hairy Vetch, Vicia villosa Roth.
The research was conducted to comprise the forage yield, quality and nutritional values of newly developed hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth.) genotypes. The experiment was carried out in subtropical ecological conditions at Güveçli village Süleymanpaşa-Tekirdağ, Türkiye with three replications in randomize block design. Nineteen newly developed hairy vetch lines and cv. Ceylan were used as seed materials. The genotypes were harvested at full-bloom stage to determine green and dry fodder yields (t ha-1). According to the results of the study, natural plant height of hairy vetch genotypes varied between 54.30-100 cm, plant height 124.16-187.85 cm, green fodder yield 41.89-63.29 t ha-1, dry fodder yield 6.35-16.73 t ha-1, dry matter ratio 88.98-89.99%, crude protein ratio 16.72-16.99%, crude fiber ratio 23.51-24.00%, crude ash ratio 7.48-8.10%, NDF 45.63-45.97%, ADF 35.59-35.61%, ADL 12.15-12.20%, P 0.51-0.47%, K 1.93-1.96%, Ca 3.93-4.12%, Mg 0.47-0.50%, tetany ratio 0.42-0.44, digestible dry matter (DDM) 61.16-61.25%, dry matter intake (DMI) 2.61-2.63%, total digestible nutrients (TDN) 55.40-55.54%, net energy for lactation (Nel) 0.5631-0.5647(Mcal lb-1), net energy for maintenance (Nem) 0.5982-0.6000 (Mcal lb-1), net energy for gain (Neg) 0.2712-0.2730 (Mcal lb-1) and relative feed value (RFV) 123.93-124.69%. The highest green fodder yield was recorded in genotypes TYF16 and TYF12, and the highest dry fodder yield in genotype TYF14. The highest crude protein ratio was found in genotype TYF17. When the RFV were examined, it is seen that the hairy vetch genotypes have the characteristic of being high quality roughage. The highest RFV was found in lines TYF16 and TYF9 and cv. Ceylan. The TYF9, TYF12, TYF14, TYF16 and TYF17 genotypes have enough potential and come to the fore to be used for forage production in sub-tropical ecological conditions.
