dc.description.abstractIn this study, the aim was to determine some silage characteristics by mixing two different Moringa species (Moringa oleifera and Moringa stenopetala) with maize (Zea mays L.) in different ratios. In the study, the Moringa species were mixed with maize in the ratios of 100-0%, 75-25%, 50-50%, 25-75%, and 0-100% and ensiled with 4 replications. At the end of the ensilling period (60 days), the silages were opened, and their physical characteristics (color, smell, structure, and DLG score), dry matter content (%), ADF (%), NDF (%) and pH. According to the results of the study, it was observed that the silages obtained by ensiling Moringa oleifera and Moringa stenopetala, either alone or in different ratios with maize, were sufficient in terms of some silage physical characteristics, silage quality, and nutritional value. When the Moringa species were examined, it was determined that the silage quality of 100% Moringa and 25% Moringa + 75% Maize mixtures increased and could be ensile as a sufficient silage. © 2025, Institute of Economic Development and Social Researches.
