Abstract
The protein contents of 6 alfalfa varieties harvested in 4 different growing stages and dried with 4 different methods were tested,The result showed that different alfalfa varieties harvested in different growing stages and dried with different methods produced different protein content of alfalfa hay,and the differences were very significant.Of the 6 varieties,the foreign alfalfa Queenand domestic alfalfa Cangzhouhad the most protein contents.As getting protein content of dry forage is the main purpose of growing alfalfa,the best harvest time shall be the time when alfalfa is in bud or in the beginning of blossom.Of the 4 drying methods,the high-temperature drying can get the most protein content of alfalfa hay.The light pressing haulm method,another method for drying alfalfa,can reduce 3 times the loss of protein than the non-pressing haulm,while heavy pressing haulm results in great loss of protein.
