Abstract :This study was carried out to examine the effect of adding potato chips waste, which is a by-product of the potato processing industry, on silage quality, as an easily soluble carbohydrate source, to the alfalfa insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Medicago sativa L.); plant, which has a high buffering capacity and is therefore difficult to ensilage. In the study, alfalfa insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Medicago sativa); harvested at the 10% flowering point was used as the plant material. Four different groups were formed by adding the silage groups prepared in the study, alfalfa plant control insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(without additives);, and potato chips waste at the rates of 0.5%, 1% and 2% on a wet weight basis to the alfalfa plants. The silages were opened at the end of the 60-day fermentation period and raw nutrient compositions and fermentation products were identified. When the effects of the silages prepared by adding different levels of chip waste to alfalfa plant on the nutrient value were examined, the differences between the groups in terms of dry matter insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DM);, crude ash insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CA);, acid detergent fiber insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ADF); and neutral detergent fiber insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NDF); content of the silages obtained from the study were statistically significant. While it was not significant in terms of CP content, the differences between the silage groups were found to be statistically significant. In the study, when the pH, ammonia nitrogen insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NH3-N);, carbon dioxide insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CO2); production and total yeast mold values of the fermentation properties of the silages were examined, decreases were observed due to the addition of chips compared to the control group. When the total lactic acid bacteria insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LAB); values of the silages were examined, an increase was observed after the addition of 1% chips. As a result, when all the parameters were examined, it was determined that the silages prepared by adding 1% chips waste had positive effects on silage fermentation.
