Abstract
With harvesting time(pre-bloom,early bloom and mid-bloom)postponed,the alfalfa stem to leaf ratio increased,the contents of crude protein(CP) and carotene dropped while acid detergent fiber(ADF) and neutral detergent fiber(NDF) increased significantly(P0.05) under different drying ways(suncured,65℃ drying in the lab and 120℃ drying).The contents of ashuncured,calcium and phosphorus had no significant difference.From above nutritive content,it can be concluded that pre-bloom is the best period for harvesting alfalfa,followed by early bloom,and then mid-bloom.High temperature dehydration significantly increased CP and carotene contents of the whole alfalfa meal and leaf meal,compared with suncured and 65℃ drying in the lab.The content of CP of the whole alfalfa meal was 20.35% and of the leaf meal was 25.15%,the content of carotene was 238.7mg/kg.The cost of the high temperature dehydrated alfalfa meal was higher,but it can meet the markets demands,especially leaf meal has a perspective future.
