Abstract
The protein content of 6 alfalfa cultivars harvested in 4 different growing stages and dried with 4 different methods were tested.The result showed that different alfalfa cultivars harvested in different growing stages and dried with different methods produced different protein content of alfalfa hay,and such differences all reached the great significant level.Of the 6 cultivars,a foreign alfalfa Queen and domestic alfalfa Cangzhou has the highest protein content.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.
