Field experiments were carried out in the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 growing seasons in the farminglands of Kiziltepe district, mainly in Koprubasi village.‘‘GAP Blue’’ grasspea variety and ‘‘Tatlicak-97’’triticale variety were used as material. Mix ratios of 100% grasspea, 100% triticale, 80% grasspea + 20% triticale, 60% grasspea + 40% triticale, 40% grasspea + 60% triticale, 20% grasspea + 80% triticale were used in the study. The material to be silage was placed in embossed vacuum bags in 1 kg mixtures and prepared in 3 replications with a lavion vacuum machine so that there was no air inside. Vacuumed bags were opened 45 days later and physical (color, odour and structure) and chemical (silage pH value, ADF, NDF, crude protein, crude ash, dry matter and lactic acid ratios) analyses were made. In terms of physical properties, the highest quality class was obtained from the 100% triticale silage. In terms of chemical properties; desired results were obtained from 100% triticale silage (for pH value and dry matter rate), 100% grasspea silage (for ADF rate, NDF rate raw protein), 100% triticale silage (for raw ash and fleig score). The results of our study indicated that 80% grasspea + 20% triticale silage mixture</p>}, number={2}, journal={ISPEC Journal of Agricultural Sciences}, author={Erdal KARADENİZ and Abdullah EREN and Veysel SARUHAN}, year={2020}, month={Jun.}, pages={249–259} }
