This experiment was conducted to evaluate feed value and usability of soybean varieties as livestock forage. In this study, three soybean cultivars, OT93-26, Geomjeongsaeol, and Pungwon, were harvested at R5 (beginning seed development)- and R6 (full seed)-reproductive stages for analyzing feed value of soybean. Days to R5 stage harvest of OT93-26 among the three soybean cultivars was 55 days and the shortest while Pungwon took 103 days to reach at R6 stage. The R6-harvested soybeans had higher dry matter (DM) yields and crude protein (CP) content than the R5-harvested. However, both DM and CP were the highest in the R6-harvested Geomjeongsaeol. Contents of neutral detergent fiber (nDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) of Pungwon harvested at R5 were the highest whereas the R6-harvested Geomjeongsaeol had the lowest. Digestible dry matter (DDM), dry matter intake (DMI), and relative feed value (RFV) of the R6-harvested Geomjeongsaeol and Pungwon were higher than those of the R5-harvested, but in case of OT93-26, those at R6 stage were low rather than those at R5 stage. However, soybean could be used as alternative forage with high feed value for livestock. Taken together, Geomjeongsaeol could be used for developing new forage soybean varieties with high feed value, and R6 would be the optimum harvesting stage for yield and quality of forage soybean.

To select the forage millet variety suitable for cultivation in the reclaimed tideland, forage and feed value compared for 16 millet cultivars grown at the Saemangyem reclaimed tideland, Korea, from April to August in 2014-2015. In order to select barnyard millet for forage that substitute rice, a total of 16 germplasm were collected, including germplasm in retained by the Rudal Development Administration’s Agricultural Genetic Resources Center, and domestic and foreign germplasm which other researches were retaining in Korea. Out of the 16 germplasm, including Jeju barnyard grass (JBG), were initially selected which are late-heading, long plant height, wide leaves, seed shatter-resistant, and with high dry forage yield in Saemangyem reclaimed tideland. The highest fresh weight and dry weight of barnyard millet were 78.4 ton ha-1, and 21.1ton ha-1 in transplanting May 10. The content of proline was the highest in JBG and IT153610 variety. Total phenol contents were the highest in JBG and the lowest in PI183332 variety, but very high in yield ability were selected; JBG was selected.

This experiment was conducted to obtain information of feed value and fermentative quality of wheat cultivar, ‘Taejoong’ to confirm availability as a whole crop silage. As a result, the heading date of ‘Teajoong’ is April 27, and plant height is longer than whole crop barley, ‘Youngyang’ or whole crop wheat, ‘Cheongwoo’, spike length are also large, fresh and dry matter yield are also high. In case of feed value, ‘Taejoong’ had higher crude protein content than whole crop barley, ‘Youngyang’ or whole crop wheat, ‘Cheongwoo’, lower NDF and ADF contents, and significantly higher digestible nutrient contents(p<0.05). In case of fermentation qulity, pH of ‘Taejoong’ was 4.2, and lactic acid content was lower than ‘Cheongwoo’ silage and significantly higher than ‘Youngyang’ silage(p<0.05). Acetic acid content was significantly lower than ‘Youngyang’ and ‘Cheongwoo’ silage(p<0.01), butyric acid content was significantly lower than that of ‘Youngyang’ silage (p<0.05). The final Flieg's score showed that ‘Taejoong’ silage was the best. Also income of ‘Taejoong’ improved than ‘Youngyang’ or ‘Cheongwoo’. Therefore, ‘Taejoong’ is considered sufficiently available as whole crop for forage.

This experiment was carried out in experiment field at Hoengseong from March to July 2015 to evaluate the seed productivity and feed value of oats (Avena sativa L.) according to the difference of seeding date. The experiment was arranged randomized complete design with three replications. The treatments were consisted of three seeding dates (12, 22 March and 2 April). The emergence and heading of oat showed a tendency to accelerate as the seeding date was delayed while the number of days taken for the flowering after the heading remained unchanged. The plant height, panicle length, number of culm, and number of panicle all tended to decrease with the delay of seeding date. The seed yield showed a significant difference with 3.55 ton/ha in 12 March and 2.38 ton/ha in 2 April (p<0.05). The dry matter yield also showed significantly different in 12 March and 2 April which were 6.57 ton/ha and 4.56 ton/ha, respectively (p<0.05). The feed value measured as CP (crude pretein), NDF (neutral detergent fiber), ADF (acid detergent fiber) and DMD (dry matter digestibility) showed no difference according to the seeding date. In the case of RFV (relative feed value), a decrease with the delay of seeding date was observed but only an insignificant difference (p>0.05). As the purpose of this study was not production of roughage but that of the seed, cultivation was in the full-ripe period, hence a relatively low feed value. In conclusion, it is considered that the appropriate seeding date for a spring cultivation of oats for the purpose of seed production in Hoengseong is in early March regarding growth characteristics, seed yield, and feed value.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of rainfall after cutting on nutritive value of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) hay. Fresh Italian ryegrass was treated with 3 days natural rainfall (56.5, 14.0 and 1.6 mm) after cutting without tedding. Rainfall effect on Italian ryegrass quality was evaluated based on Neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF), crude protein (CP), crude fat (CF), crude ash (CA) and non-fiber carbohydrate (NFC). The quality of Italian ryegrass was decreased with extending raining days. The content of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) was increased from 0.4 to 4.7% by 1 day advancement in raining. CF content was decreased from 8.1 to 32.8%. CP and CA contents did not change, but NFC content was decreased from 0.5 to 8.4%. The quality damage by the number of raining days after cutting Italian ryegrass was the lowest on the first day from exposure to rain.

This study was conducted to determine grazing intensity of growing Korean native goats (Capra hircus coreanae) on mountainous pasture. It was carried out to obtain basic information for improvement of mountainous pasture management and establishing feeding system of Korean native goats. Castrated, male goats (n=10) with average initial body weight (BW) of 23.33±2.15kg and an average age of 4 months were used in this study. Grazing goats were supplemented by concentrates with 1.0% of BW. The crude protein content of forage was the highest in October (22.71±0.25%) and there were significantly differences (p<0.05) in monthly comparison. The forage productivity of pasture was the highest from May to June (1718.7±207.5~ 1672.0±422.8 kg/ha) but it was decreased in July (1356.0±103.8 kg/ha) because of drought and summer depression. Average daily gains (ADG) of goats were the highest in June (99.5±6.4 d/g). Grazing intensity was calculated by forage productivity and dry matter intake (DMI) and was the highest in May (65 head/ha). As shown in the results of this research, grazing intensity was suggested to average 39 head/ha from May to October. It is desirable that adequate grazing intensity was maintained by adjusting supplemental feed.

The feed value of Astragalus membranaceus leaves and straws was amended by fermentation using effective microorganisms, such as molasses (T1), Rhodobacter capsulatus (T2), Bacillus subtilis (T3), Lactobacillus acidophilus (T4), or Saccharomyces cerevisiae (T5), with no supplements in the control (C). The crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), crude fiber (CF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and acid detergent fiber (ADF) contents in the fermentation-treated A. membranaceus leaves decreased, whereas nitrogen free extract (NFE) content increased significantly. A decrease in the amounts of CP (except in T3), EE, CF, NDF, and ADF in the A. membranaceus straws treated with effective microorganisms was observed compared with that for the C and T1 (p<0.05). The NFE content of the straws increased with all treatments, except T1. Fermentation treatment subtly altered the fatty acid composition of A. membranaceus leaves and straws. In contrast, the calcium and vitamin E contents in A. membranaceus leaves and straws were increased after fermentation treatment (p<0.05). However, T3 yielded higher saponin content in straws compared to that by any of the other treatments (p<0.05). The effect of fermentation with microorganisms, maintained the low pH up to 48 h (p<0.05), whereas it was random for the straws. Therefore, the data suggest that fermentation treatment with microorganisms can improve digestion rate and have a positive effect on physiologically active substances and feed value.

본 실험은 논 토양에서 사일리지용 수수 × 수수 교잡종 재배시 화학비료와 발효 돈분 액비 혼용 시용이 생육특성 및 영양성분에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 실시하였다. 실 험설계는 화학비료 100% 처리구 (C), 화학비료 70% + 돈분 액비 30% 처리구 (T1), 화학비료 50% + 돈분액비 50% 처 리구 (T2), 화학비료 30% + 돈분액비 70% 처리구 (T3) 그리 고 돈분액비 100% 처리구 (T4)로 한, 5처리 3반복 난괴법 으로 배치하였다. 이때 돈분 액비 시용은 질소량만을 기준 으로 하였다 (150 kg/ha). 초장, 엽장, 엽폭 그리고 경의 굵 기는 T4구가 유의적으로 작게 나타났다 (p<0.05). 경의 경 도는 돈분액비 시용 비율 낮고 화학비료 시용 비율이 높을 수록 유의적으로 증가하였다 (p<0.05). 생초수량은 T2구가 높았던 반면 T3구가 낮게 나타났다 (p<0.05). 그러나 건물 수량 및 TDN 수량은 처리구들 간에 유의적인 차이를 보이 지 않았다. 조단백질 함량은 T1구가 다른 구에 비하여 높 게 나타났다 (p<0.05). 조지방 함량은 T1, T2, T3 그리고 T4 처리구들 간에는 유의적인 차이가 없었지만, C구와는 유의적인 차이를 보였다 (p<0.05). NDF와 조섬유 함량은 각각 T3구와 C구에서 높게 나타났다 (p<0.05). 그러나 ADF 함량은 처리구들 사이에 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 총무기물 함량은 T1 > T2 > T4 > T3 > C 구 순으로 높게 나 타났다 (p<0.05). 유리당 함량은 T1과 C구가 다른 처리구에 비하여 유의적으로 높게 나타났다 (p<0.05). 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때, 돈분액비 시용은 화학비료에 비하여 수량성, 영양성분에 크게 떨어지지 않기 때문에 사일지용 수수 × 수수 교잡종 재배시 돈분액비와 화학비료를 혼용 시용 하 거나 돈분액비 만 시용하여도 큰 무리가 없는 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 사일리지용 옥수수를 파종 한 후 배수로 깊이를 0 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm 그리고 50 cm로 처리하고 이에 따른 생육특성, 생산성 및 화학적 특성을 비교 검토하였다. 초장, 엽장, 엽폭, 착수고 및 하고엽은 배수로 깊이에 따라 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 알곡 충실도, 암이삭 길이 및 암이삭 둘레는 배수로 깊이가 깊을수록 유의적으로 커지는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 그러나 경의 굵기 및 경경도는 처리구들 사이에 차이를 보이지 않았다. 당도에 있어서는 0 cm > 20 cm > 30 cm > 50 cm 구순으로 배수로 깊이가 낮을수록 높은 수치를 보였다(p<0.05). 생초수량, 건물수량 및 TDN 수량은 배수로 깊이가 깊을수록 증가하는 것으로 나타났다 (p<0.05). 조단백질함량은 50 cm구가 가장 높게 나타난 반면 0 cm 처리구가 가장 낮게 나타났다. 그러나 조지방, NDF, ADF 및 조섬유 함량은 처리구들간 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 조회분 함량은 50 cm 구에서 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 총무기물함량은 0 cm (5,690.14) > 30 cm(5,397.02) > 20 cm (4,853.21) > 50 cm구(4,660.18 mg / 100 g) 순으로 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 그리고 유리당 함량은 20 cm구에서 가장 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 구성아미노산 함량은 50 cm구가 다른 처리구 보다 높게 나타났지만(p<0.05), 0 cm, 20 cm 및 30 cm 처리구 사이에는 유의적인 차가 없었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때, 저지대 논 토양에서 수량을 확보하기 위해서는 최소한 배수로 깊이를 30 cm 이상을 확보 하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 가축분뇨를 화학비료로 대체하기 위해 사료용 옥수수 재배시 돈분 액비의 적정 시용방법을 구명하고자 화학비료100%, 액비100%, 액비150%, 액비50% +화학비료50%, 액비70% +화학비료30%, 액비70% +화학비료50%를 처리한 후 작물의 수량 및 사료가치, 토양변화 등을 조사하였다. 토양의 화학성 변화중 pH와 치환성 Mg는 시험전에 비하여 큰 변화가 없었으나 그 밖의 성분들은 화학비료구를 제외한 액비처리구의 경우 약간씩 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 토양중 NO3-N함량과 옥수수 생육초기에는 화학비료100%, 액비150%, 액비70% +화학비료50%처리구가 그 밖의 액비와 화학비료 분시구보다 높았으나 생육후기로 갈수록 처리간에 큰 차이가 없었다. 사료용 옥수수의 전장, 직경 및 생체수량은 화학비료100%, 액비150%, 액비70% +화학비료50%처리구에서 가장 양호하였고 액비100% 전량기비처리구에서 가장 낮았다. 특히, 수량은 액비150%처리구와 액비70%+화학비료50%에서 유사하였으며, 액비100%에서 79%로 가장 저조하였다. 사료용 옥수수의 조단백질과 사료가치도 역시 액비150%, 액비70%+화학비료50%에서 가장 높은 값를 나타냈지만, ADF와 NDF 함량은 가장 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면 논 조건에서 화학비료를 대체하여 가축분뇨 액비를 이용한 옥수수 재배시 증수와 사료가치를 높이기 위해서는 일시에 100%전량을 사용하는 것보다는 2회 분할 시용하는 것이 유리하며 특히, 액비70%를 처리하고 추비로 화학비료50%를 처리하는 것이 토양비옥도를 유지하면서도 생산성을 높여 주며 화학비료를 50%수준 절감해줄 것으로 생각된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the influence of the mixed application of chemical fertilizer (CF) and liquid swine manure (LSM) on the agronomic characteristics, dry matter yield, amino acids, minerals, and free sugars in cultivating Sorghum × Sudangrass hybrid (SSH) on paddy soil. The field experiment was designed in a randomized block design with three replications and consisted of CF 100% (C), CF 70% + LSM 30% (T1), CF 50% + LSM 50% (T2), CF 30% + LSM 70% (T3), and LSM 100% treatment (T4). The application of LSM was based solely on the nitrogen. Plant length, leaf length, leaf width and number of leaf were significantly higher in T4 (p<0.05), but stem diameter did not show significant differences among treatments. Stem hardness increased significantly (p<0.05) as the LSM application rate decreased, but sugar degree decreased significantly (p<0.05) as the LSM application rate decreased. Fresh yield, dry matter yield and TDN yield were the highest in T4, whereas the lowest in T2 (p<0.05). Crude protein, crude fat and crude ash were the highest in C, T4 and T2, respectively (p<0.05). However, NDF and ADF did not show significant difference among treatments. Crude fiber decreased significantly (p<0.05) as the LSM application rate increased. The total mineral content was decreased significantly (p<0.05) as the LSM application rate increased. Total amino acid content was higher in the order of T1> C> T3> T4> T2 (p<0.05). Free sugar content increased significantly (p<0.05) as the LSM application rate increased. The analysis of all the above results suggests that the application of liquid swine manure is very effective, considering the yield performance and the content of sugar degree and free sugar. In addition, liquid swine manure may be possible to grow Sorghum × Sudangrass hybrid without chemical fertilizer.

A study was performed to investigate the effect of reseeding rates of Italian ryegrass (IRG)〔Lolium multiflorum L.〕on its nutritive value and productivity in native grasssland of Jeju region from Oct. 2011 to Jul. 2012. IRG was sown at reseeding rates (0 30, 40 and 50 kg/ha) in native grassland. When IRG was sown, there was no draught and lodging damage. Plant height in treatment 30 kg/ha of reseeding IRG was the tallest at all harvest stages (p<0.05). DM yield in treatment of 30 kg/ha of reseeding IRG was 12,790 kg/ha and increased 2.7 folds as compared to control. However, there was no significant difference among the treatments. The content of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) significantly decreased in treatment of reseeding, compared to control (p<0.05). In general, the content of NDF in second harvest stage was lower than that of control in first harvest stage. The content of acid detergent fiber (ADF) also showed simliar trend as content of NDF. The content of total digestible nutrients (TDN) in treatments of 30 kg/ha and 50 kg/ha of reseeding were approximately 45.2% each. The content of TDN in treatments of 30 kg/ha and 50kg/ha of reseeding increased as compared to 40 kg/ha and control of reseeding (p<0.05). Therefore, it is conclued that reseeding rate of IRG may improve the yield and nutritive values of IRG at 30 kg/ha.

국산밀 재배시 가축분뇨 액비를 시용하여 생육에 미치는 영향과 사료가치를 분석하여 우리밀 생산물의 소비다양화 가능성을 알아보기 위하여 본 실험을 수행하였다. 용도별 우리밀을 선발하고 청보리로 사용되고 있는 영양보리를 대조구로 파종하여 생육 및 사료가치를 조사하였다. 각 작물별 파종 15일후 유묘출현율은 액비 처리구 화학비료 및 무처리구에 비해 2.4배 높았다. 또한 시험작물 모두 초장이 액비시용구에서 약 2배 이상 증가하였다. 월동 후 최고분얼기에는 밀이 영양보리에 비해 초장은 0.7∼1.8cm 작았으나 분얼수는 1.5∼2개가 많았다. 생체중의 경우 액비처리구에서 시험에 사용된 모든 밀이 영양보리에 비해 1.01∼1.11배 높았고 연백밀이 5,102kg 10a-1로 가장 많았다. 사료가치중 단백질 함량은 액비처리로 보리와 모든 밀 품종에서 유의성있게 증가하였고 조경밀이 9.19 %로 가장 높았다. NDF와 ADF 모두 청보리와 대등하거나 높았다. TDN은 금강밀이 69.86∼72.11 %로 가장 높았고 고소밀이 64.61∼66.07 %로 가장 낮았다. 시험전후 토양 특성은 가축분뇨 액비처리를 하였을 때 EC, 유기물, 유효인산 및 치환성 양이 함량이 증가하여 화학비료와 대등한 결과를 얻었다. 이상의 결과로 국산밀을 재배할 때 가축분뇨액비를 적절히 활용할 경우 재배단가를 낮추고 곡물밀의 공급이 과잉일 경우 사료용으로 공급하여 국산밀의 소비안정성에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

혼파 비율에 따른 청보리와 유채의 생육을 조사한 결과 청보리와 유채를 8:2 비율로 처리했을때 생육과 수량성이 우수하였다. 생체중은 청보리 단파에 비해 청보리와 유채 8:2 비율에서 11%로서 가장 높은 증수율을 나타내었다. 청보리와 유채 혼파에 따른 사일리지 제조 전 사료가치를 분석한 결과 조단백질 함량은 청보리 단파에서 6.0%를 보였으나 혼파 처리에서는 단파에 비해 0.5∼0.7% 증가하는 결과를 보였다. 10a 당 가소화 양분 총량(TDN)을 조사한 결과 청보리 단파의 678kg/10a에 비해 9:1과 8:2 처리에서 725∼728kg으로 단파와 다른 혼파처리에 비해서 사료가치가 우수한 결과를 나타내었다. 사일리지 제조 후의 혼파 비율에 따른 사료가치 조사에서도 상대적 사료가치(RFV)가 단파에 비해 101∼102로 9:1과 8:2 처리에서 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 청보리와 유채 수확시기별 생육과 수량성을 8:2와 7:3 혼합비율로 청보리 유숙기, 호숙기와 황숙기에 각각 조사하였다. 수확기별 청보리는 건물수량성에서 호숙기에 10a당 약 1.3톤으로 가장 많았다. 유채는 청보리 유숙기와 호숙기에 각각 10a당 약 264kg과 244kg이었고, 건물중은 청보리와 유채 모두 청보리의 호숙기와 황숙기에 4.9kg와 4.4kg으로 비슷하였다. 수확시기에 따른 품질분석을 수행한 결과, 조단백질 함량은 유숙기와 황숙기에 7.4∼7.7%로 우수하였다. TDN은 호숙기에 71.4%로 유숙기와 황숙기의 약 68∼70%에 비해 우수하였다. 다른 혼파비율인 7:3에서도 같은 경향을 나타내었다. 혼파시 호숙기경의 수확이 품질에서도 양호한 결과를 보여 청보리는 호숙기에 수확하는 것이 가장 유리할 것으로 생각된다.

This study was carried out to investigate the influence of the seeding dates on the yield and feed value in cultivating Italian rye grass on paddy soil. The field experiment was designed in a randomized block design of 3 repetitions with seeding dates of Oct. 19 (T1), Oct. 26 (T2), Nov. 2 (T3), Nov. 9 (T4), and Nov. 16 (T5) treatments. Plant length, fresh yield, dry matter yield and TDN yield were increased with early seeding dates (p<0.05). Crude protein, Crude fat and crude ash were increased with early seeding dates (p<0.05). On the other hand, NDF, ADF and Crude fiber were decreased with early seeding dates (p<0.05). Total mineral contents were higher in the order of T4 > T3 > T5 > T1 > T2 (p<0.05). The total composition amino acid content was decreased significantly (p<0.05) as the seeding dates delayed. Total free sugar content was highest in T1, whereas the lowest in T5 treatment (p<0.05). Nutrition yields (crude protein, crude fat, amino acid and free sugar) were increased significantly with early seeding dates (p<0.05). The above result indicated that it is favorable to seed soon after rice harvest to increase dry matter yield and nutrition yield of Italian ryegrass in the midlands

This study was performed out to investigate the influence of the mixed application of chemical fertilizer (CF) and liquid swine manure (LSM) on the growth characteristics, dry matter yield, amino acids, minerals, and free sugars in cultivating silage corn on paddy soils. The field experiment was designed in a randomized block design of 3 repetitions with CF 100% treatment (C), CF 70% + LSM 30% treatment (T1), CF 50% + LSM 50% treatment (T2), CF 30% + LSM 70% treatment (T3), and LSM 100% treatment (T4). At this time, the application of LSM was based solely on the nitrogen. Ear length, ear circle, stem diameter, and stem hardness of the silage corn did not show significant differences between treatments. Fresh yield, dry matter yield and TDN yield were highest in T3, whereas the lowest in C treatment (p<0.05). Crude protein, crude fat, and crude ash content were significantly higher in T1, C, and T4 treatment, respectively (p<0.05). However, NDF, ADF and crude fiber content did not show significant difference between treatments. The total mineral content decreased significantly (p<0.05) as the LSM application rate increased. Total composition amino acid content was higher in the order of T1 > T2 > C > T4 > T3 treatment (p<0.05). Free sugar content was higher in the order of T1 > T3 > T4 > T2 > C treatment (p<0.05). Based on the above results, suggests that the mixed application of chemical fertilizer 30 50% and LSM 50~70% (T2 and T3) is the most effective, considering the yield performance and the content of sugar degree and free sugar affecting silage.

이 연구는 동계 사료맥류를 활용하여 건초대용 양질 헤일리지의 생산 가능성을 검토하기위하여 맥종별 수확시기, 적정 건조시간 및 헤일리지 품질을 분석하였다. 그 결과 수확시기가 늦어질수록 건물수량과 TDN 수량은 높아지는 경향이었고, 단백질과 NDF, ADF 함량은 낮아지는 경향을 보였다(p<0.05). 헤일리지 조제를 위한 건조시간은 청보리, 귀리, 트리티케일,총체밀 모두 유숙기에는 수분함량이 높음과 동시에 기상온도도 높지 않으므로 32시간 이상예건이 필요하고, 황숙기에는 8~24시간 정도예건이 필요하며, 완숙기에는 예건이 필요 없었다. 호밀은 출수 후 10일에는 32시간 이상,출수 후 20일, 30일에서는 24시간 이상 예건이필요하였다. 헤일리지 발효품질에서 pH는 모든맥종에서 모두 수확시기가 늦어질수록 높아지는 경향을 보였고, 젖산함량은 유숙기에 가장높은 값을 보였고, 수확시기가 늦어질수록 감소하였다(p<0.05). 초산도 수확시기가 늦어짐에따라 감소하는 경향을 보였고, 낙산은 검출되지 않았다. 이상의 연구결과를 종합하여 볼 때,사료맥류로 헤일리지 조제 시 단백질함량이나발효품질 면에서는 수확이 빠를수록 유리하지만 우리나라 기상조건으로 볼 때 예건의 어려움이 있으므로, 호밀은 청예나 사일리지로 이용을 하고 청보리와 귀리, 트리티케일, 총체밀은 황숙기에 수확하여 8~24시간 정도 예건하면헤일리지로 이용 가능성이 있는 것으로 판단되었다.
