1 st WorkshopXIII International Feed Technology Symposiumwas found) <strong>of</strong> DM amino <strong>acids</strong> content, decreasing <strong>of</strong> soluble N, increasing <strong>of</strong>percentage <strong>of</strong> N insoluble in acid detergent (ADIN) in total N content, for ensiling wiltedalfalfa (40 <strong>and</strong> 66 % <strong>of</strong> DM content), comparing with ensiling a fresh material with 29 %<strong>of</strong> DM. Better intake <strong>and</strong> total digestibility <strong>of</strong> OM is also found, as increasing <strong>of</strong>proportion <strong>of</strong> total digestible OM that is digested in the intestine, <strong>and</strong> decreasing <strong>of</strong> part<strong>of</strong> digestible OM that is fermented in rumen (probably as a result <strong>of</strong> depression <strong>of</strong>protein digestibility), for dairy cows in early lactation. In this study, increasing content<strong>of</strong> ruminally undegraded N, decreasing concentration <strong>of</strong> ammonium N in rumen, <strong>and</strong>increasing <strong>of</strong> flow <strong>of</strong> nonammonium N in duodenum is determined.Table 1.

Thisis more distinct for rations with alfalfa haylage as main forage compared with rationsbased on alfalfa hay (Broderick et al. 2002). Higher proportion <strong>of</strong> alfalfa haylage in dietsfor lactating dairy cows <strong>of</strong>ten is connected with increased concentration <strong>of</strong> <strong>dietary</strong> crudeprotein <strong>and</strong> increased content <strong>of</strong> rumen degradable protein. Comprehensive conversion<strong>of</strong> protein into NPN, during the ensiling process results with intensive releasing <strong>of</strong> NH 3in rumen. Increased content <strong>of</strong> ruminally available energy in diet is significant forgreater efficiency <strong>of</strong> utilizing <strong>of</strong> rumen degradable protein from alfalfa haylage, <strong>and</strong>synthesis <strong>of</strong> microbial protein (Đorđević et al. 2001). Greater content <strong>of</strong> ground highmoisture corn grain in diets for lactating cows, increases synthesis <strong>and</strong> duodenal flow <strong>of</strong>microbial protein, as also a milk protein yield, to a greater extent for cows fed diets withalfalfa haylage (170 <strong>and</strong> 337 g/day, respective) then for cows on diets with alfalfa hay(100 <strong>and</strong> 100 g/day, respective), (Vagnoni <strong>and</strong> Broderick, 1997). Amount <strong>of</strong> protein,more accurate protein absorbed in intestine, <strong>and</strong> not energy, is main limiting factor indiets for dairy cows in the first half <strong>of</strong> lactation, based on high level <strong>of</strong> alfalfa haylage(Dhiman et al. 1993). There were no effects <strong>of</strong> replacing chopped alfalfa hay with alfalfahaylage in diets for dairy cows in late lactation, on DM intake, ruminal pH, ruminalconcentration <strong>of</strong> volatile <strong>fatty</strong> <strong>acids</strong>, milk fat <strong>and</strong> protein, serum concentration <strong>of</strong> lactate,220
