Analysis of mineral element content and nutrient composition of different oat varieties in whole plants
The experiment analyzed the mineral element and nutritional components content of different oat varieties to screen for high-quality forage sources for ruminant animals.Seven oat varieties(Baiyan No.13,Hanma,Youmu No.1,Kaisa,Mogen,Monika,and Longyan No.5)were selected,and a near-infrared spectrometer was used to measure the mineral element and nutritional components content of the whole plant of the tested oat varieties.The results showed that Hanma,Baiyan No.13,Youmu No.1,and Monica had higher concentrations of Ca,P,Mg,and K.The crude protein concentration of Longyan NO.5 and Monica was higher.Kaisa and Monica had a higher ether extract concentration.The crude ash concentration of Longyan No.5 and Monica was lower.Monica had the lowest concentration of neutral and acidic detergent fibers.The study indicates that Monica is rich in mineral elements,the concentrations of crude protein and ether extract are higher,the concentration of crude ash is lower,the productivity is higher than the other oat varieties.Monika is a high-quality feed source of ruminants.
