Physical characteristics and nutritional value of stored mulberry (Morus alba) mixed with corn forage. Mulberry foliage and corn, harvested respectively after 120 and 135 days, were ensilaged (chopped and mixed in ratios of 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75 and 0:100 as dry material). The concentration of soluble carbohydrates was uniform at 10% in all the treatments by adding molasses. The fermentation period was 90 days. The compacted mulberry forage (the 100:0 ratio) had a density of 693 kg/m3 and that of the corn forage (the 0:100 ratio) was 541 kg/m3, indicating marked initial differences (p≤ 0.01) between them. At the end of the experimental period, the stored material had densities ranging between 750 and 556 kg/m3, with intermediate values (p≤0.01) as the mulberry proportion was reduced in each mixture. Loss of dry material was found among treatments (p≤0.01) with 6.8 kg/m3 and 18.3 kg/m3. The organoleptic characteristics evaluation had ratings from very good to excellent in the mixtures with ratios of 75:50, 50:50, 25:75 and 0:100, but not in the mulberry forage (100:0) which has a slight ammonia odor. The concentration of dry matter in the fresh material was higher than that found in the stored material (p≤0.05). The concentration of crude protein among the mixtures was clearly differentiated (p≤0.01), in the beginning as well as at the end of the fermentation period. A similar condition was observed in the concentration of neutral detergent fiber and total ash.
