Abstract: [Objective] Taking pomegranate residue as raw materials, ensiled technology, feed characteristics and dry matter digestibility were studied. [Method] Three treatments were prepared as followed: only silage (control), silage with 0.02% of lactic acid bacteria and silage with both 0.02% of lactic acid bacteria and 5% corn flour, and then packed in plastic bottles and stored a room temperature for 30 days for sampling analysis. [ Result ] The proportion of seeds and peel in residue in dry matter basis wert 18.6% and 78.6%, respectively. The crude protein and crude fat contents of whole residue and seeds were 10.84%, 10.37% and 12.70%, 13.51%, respectively. The pH values of whole treatments were less than 3.70. The organic acid was dominant by lactic acid, and butyric acid was not detected. Adding lactobacillus or adding both lactobacillus and corn flour could increase the crudt protein content and dry matter digestibility of silage significantly. [ Conclusion ] Pomegranate residue is suitable for ensiling ray materials, and no inoculation can also make quality silage. Adding lactobacillus and corn flour could increase the crude proteil content and dry matter digestibility of silage, which reached 13.03% and 71.99%, respectively.
