Abstract: The influence of maturity on nutritive composition was determined for different stage of seven silage of corn stalk. The corn stalk were harvested at the growth days of the 92nd, 94th, 96th, 98th, 100th, 102nd and 104th, respectively. At each stage of maturity, corn stalk was harvested, and ensiled. Maturity did not have a large effect on lactic acid, butyric acid and ADF content of silage in this study; however, the digestibility of organ matter in vitro decreased as maturity of corn stalk, there were obvious effects on the contents of ammonia concentrations, crude protein, NDF in silage with different harvested time.
