Abstract

The aim of the experiment was to compare the results of nutritional values and silage quality indicators in semi-leafless peas, field peas and faba beans in the Malá Haná region in 2024. Six crops were included in the experiment: semi-leafless pea Gambit and Avatar, leafed pea type Protecta, field pea Ervika, faba bean Mistral and Merkur. The harvest took place on 9.7.2024 in Velké Opatovice. Field pea had higher harvest dry matter and organic matter digestibility than semi-leafless peas, but lower fiber values. Faba bean Mistral had higher crude protein content than Merkur. The best fermentation indicators were found in faba bean, followed by field pea, and the worst were in semi-leafless peas.
