Effect of the application of different organic fertilizers on the quality of whole corn silage

China is one of the largest animal husbandry countries in the world and produces a large amount of animal manure every year; thus, organic fertilizer resources are abundant in China. To reuse animal manure, it is necessary to explore the potential of using manure as fertilizer for crop cultivation. Therefore, the current study was conducted to determine the effect of animal manure on the nutrient content and fermentation value of corn silage. A randomized complete block design was used in this study with four blocks. Each block contained four treatments, namely, the control group (CK) without fertilization, cow manure group (Cow) with 500 g·m^–2 (dry matter basis) cow manure, fowl manure group (Fowl) with 500 g·m^–2 (dry matter based) fowl manure, and hog manure group (Hog) with 500 g·m^–2 (dry matter based) hog manure, and corn plants were fertilized accordingly. The corn plans were harvested at the 2/3 milk line of the corn kernels and silage was prepared. The nutrient content of the corn plant and silage (120 days) were measured. Furthermore, fermentation parameters of corn silage were determined. The results showed that application of 500 g·m^–2 (dry matter based) fowl manure increased the crude protein and NDF content of whole corn plant but had no effect on the fermentation quality. Application of 500 g·m^–2 (dry matter based) hog manure or cow manure did not affect the nutrient content or the fermentation quality of silage corn.
