Abstract :This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of adding fermented natural lactic acid bacteria insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PFJ); obtained from different sources and some lactic acid bacteria inoculants to alfalfa insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Medicago sativa L.); silage on fermentation, in vitro organic matter digestibility insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(IVOMD); and in vitro gas production. In the study, insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(i); pure alfalfa plant constituted the control group, whereas insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ii); 2% molasses added group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(iii); PFJ insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3% molasses); prepared from alfalfa + 2% molasses to alfalfa plant, insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(iv); PFJ insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3% molasses); prepared from meadow grass + 2% molasses alfalfa. plant, insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(v); PFJ insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3% Molasses); prepared from maize + 2% molasses to alfalfa plant, insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(vi); homofermentative added group + 2% molasses to alfalfa plant, insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(vii); heterofermentative group + 2% molasses to alfalfa plant, added groups formed the trial groups. Homofermentative and heterofermentative LAB inoculants were added to alfalfa plant at the level of 108 cfu/kg. When the DM, CA, ADF, NDF, IVOMD, ME and CH4 values of the prepared silages were examined, the differences between the groups were found to be statistically significant. When the fermentation characteristics insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(pH, NH3-N, CO2, LA, AA, BA, mold); of the silages prepared by adding PFJ and some LAB inoculants to alfalfa plant, the differences between groups were found to be statistically significant. When examined in terms of all parameters, it was determined that the addition of PFJ insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3% molasses); prepared from meadow grass + 2% molasses to alfalfa plant had positive effects on silage quality, fermentation characteristics and in vitro organic matter digestion.
