ABSTRACT
28
The main objectives of this study were (1) to assess the magnitude of differences among
29
new barley silage varieties (BS) selected for varying rates of in vitro NDFD digestibility
30
(ivNDFD; Cowboy BS with higher ivNDFD , Copeland BS with intermediate ivNDFD
31
and Xena BS with lower ivNDFD) as regards to their physiochemical features (energy),
32
carbohydrate nutrient fractions and rumen digestive contents in dairy cows in comparison
33
with a new corn silage hybrid (Pioneer 7213R), and (2) to identify the pattern of
34
interactive association between the molecular structure of carbohydrates and digestible
35
carbohydrates content. The carbohydrates-related molecular structure spectral data was
36
measured using advanced vibrational molecular spectroscopy (FT/IR). In comparison to
37
BS, corn silage showed a significant (P < 0.05) high level of starch, energy content and
38
higher degradation of DM. Cowboy BS had lower feeding value (higher indigestible fiber
39
content and lower starch content) and lower DM degradation in the rumen compared to
40
other BS varieties (P < 0.05). The spectral intensities of molecular carbohydrates (P
95% of remaining observed variance. Functional groups of
235
ligneous (ca. 1525- 1487 cm-1), cellulosic compounds (ca. 1292-1189 cm-1), structural
236
CHO (ca. 1487- 1189 cm-1), total CHO (ca. 1189-909 cm-1) and non-structural CHO (ca.
237
909- 880 cm-1) were analyzed using multivariate molecular spectral analysis

situ bags (6 µm pore size, part no. 07 – 6/5, Sefar America Inc., Depew, NY) and were
255
randomly assigned to cows. After removal from the rumen, the bags were rinsed with
256
cold water, oven dried at 55ºC for 48 h. Subsequently, the NDF of residues was analyzed.
257 258
Statistical Analysis
259
Statistical analyses were performed using the PROC MIXED procedure of SAS 9.4 (SAS
260
Institute, Cary, NC). Chemical profile was analyzed using completely randomized design.
261
The model used for analyzing this design was as follow: Yij = µ+ Ti + eij, where Yij is an
262
observation of the dependent variable; µ is the population mean for the variable; Ti is the
263
treatment effect, as a fixed effect, eij are the random error associated with the observation
264
ij.
265
In situ degradability of DM and NDF were analyzed using a randomized complete
266
block design. The model used for this design was as follow: Yijk = µ+ Ti + Bj +eijk, where
267
Yijk is an observation of the dependent variable ij; µ is the population mean for the
268
variable; Ti is the treatment effect, as a fixed effect, Bj is a block effect with in situ
269
animals, as a random effect, and eijk is the random error associated with the observation
270
ij.
271
The ATR-FT/IR spectroscopic data were analyzed using a completely randomized
272
design model with subsampling (spectra reading; n= 5 scans): Yij = µ+ Ti + eij, where Yij
273
is an observation of the dependent variable ij (chemical functional groups such as; µ is
274
the population mean for the variable; Ti is the treatment effect, as a fixed effect, eij are the
275
random error associated with the observation ij. The significance was declared at P
0. 1; Table 1). Starch content of corn silage was higher
300
compared with all barley forages (26 vs 12 % DM, P < 0.01), while NDF was lower in
301
corn silage when compared with all barley forages (39 vs 46 % DM, P < 0.01). Lignin
302
content was higher (5 %DM) in Copeland BS and Cowboy BS, intermediate in Xena BS
303
(4.5% DM), and lower in corn silage (3% DM). Indigestible fiber fraction as expressed
304
%NDF was higher in Cowboy BS (46 %NDF), intermediate in Copeland BS (42 %NDF)
305
and lower in Xena BS and corn silage (averaged 35%NDF).

Carbohydrate Fractions and Predicted Carbohydrate Degradation Fractions
308
Table 2 shows the carbohydrate subfractions of barley silages compared with corn silage.
309
There was no significant difference (P > 0.10) in CB3 (available NDF% CHO) among
310
barley silage varieties (averaged 35 % CHO; Table 2). Significant differences were
311
detected among barley silages for CC with Xena barley silage lower at 20% CHO, CDC
312
Copland intermediate at 22% CHO, and CDC Cowboy higher at 30%. Corn silage had a
313
relatively similar CB3 (P > 0.10) and higher CB1 (starch, % CHO) compared with all
314
barley silages (P < 0.01). However, the average CC fraction was lower in corn silage
315
(16% CHO) compared to the average across barley silages (P < 0.05).
316
The results of the current study showed corn silage have a higher RDCB1 (20%
317
DM; Table 2) than all barley silage varieties (10% DM). There were significant
318
differences among barley varieties in RDCB3, being higher in Cowboy and Copeland BS
319
(averaged 11% DM), and lower in Xena BS and corn silage (averaged 6% DM). The

rumen degradation of total CHO was higher in corn silage (38% DM), intermediate in
321
Copeland BS (34 % DM) and lower in Cowboy and Xena BS (averaged 29 % DM).
322 323
Digestible Nutrients and Energy Values
324
Cowboy BS had a significantly higher tdNDF (P < 0.05; Table 2) when compared with
325
Copeland BS (26 vs 22 %DM). The tdNFC was higher in corn silage compared to
326
Cowboy BS (44 vs. 29 % DM, respectively; P < 0.05). Corn silage had the greatest
327
TDN1x (71.0% DM) and Cowboy BS had the lowest level (62 % DM), whereas Copeland
328
and Xena BS had intermediate TDN1x values (averaged 64 % DM).
329
The energy estimates were higher in corn silage (2.8, 2.4, and 1.5 Mcal/kg of DM
330
for DE3×, ME3×, and NEL3×, respectively), intermediate in Copeland BS (2.6, 2.2, and 1.4
331
Mcal/kg of DM for DE3×, ME3×, and NEL3×, respectively) and lower in Xena and
332
Cowboy BS (2.5, 2.1, and 1.3 Mcal/kg of DM for DE3×, ME3×, and NEL3×, respectively).
333 334
Rumen Degradation Kinetics of Nutrients in Barley and Corn Silages
335
The results showed there were no significant differences in degradation rates of DM
336
between all silages (Kd, 3.7%/h, P > 0.10; Table 3). The soluble fraction of DM was
337
significantly different amongst all silages (P < 0.05), being higher in Xena (34%),
338
intermediate in Copeland BS (29%) and lower in Cowboy BS and corn silage (23%). On
339
the other hand, corn silage had the highest value for rumen slowly degradable DM
340
fraction (52%), compared with Xena BS (39%). There were no significant differences
341
among barley silage varieties in D fraction of DM (averaged 40%), however the U
342
fraction was significantly higher in Cowboy BS (37%) compared to corn silage (25%).

343
Among three barley forages, Xena BS had greater (P < 0.05) EDDM (50 %) compared to
344
Cowboy BS (43 %), while corn silage had similar EDDM compared to barley silages.
345
There were no significant differences in degradation rates of NDF between all
346
silages (Kd, 3.2%/h; P > 0.10; Table 3). The lag time was significantly (P < 0.05; Table
347
3) longer in corn silage (9h), intermediate in Xena barley silage (6h) and shorter in
348
Copeland and Cowboy barley silages (averaged 3h). The undegradable fraction of NDF
349
was significantly lower in Xena BS (26%), intermediate in Copeland BS (36%) and
350
higher in Cowboy BS (44%). The effective degradation of NDF was significantly lower
351
(P < 0.05) in Copeland BS (23%) than Xena BS (35%).

Carbohydrate Molecular Spectroscopic Features of Barley and Corn Silage with
354
Different Digestible Carbohydrates Content
355
Peak height and area values of ligneous compounds in all forages were not significantly
356
different (P > 0.1; Table 4). Also, all forages had similar structural carbohydrates peak
357
area (STC_A; averaged 20 cm-1, P > 0.10). There were three spectral peaks within the
358
STC_A centered at approximately ca. 1416, 1372, and 1320 cm−1. Xena BS had higher
359
peak height at 1416 than corn silage and Copeland BS, while corn silage had higher peak
360
height at 1372 cm−1 than Copeland BS (P < 0.05). The CEC peak area or height absorbed
361
intensities for barley and corn silages were similar (P > 0.10). The total CHO peak area
362
values were similar for all forages (TC_A; region and baseline ca. 1189-909 cm-1). Also,
363
all forages had the same absorbed intensities at 1152, 1100, and 1030 (P > 0.1). The non-
364
structural CHO peak area (NSTC_A), peak height H_898, and NSTC spectral ratios were
365
significantly lower in corn silage compared with all barley silage varieties (P < 0.05).

374
could be discriminated from each other. For PCA analysis, the first principal component
375
explained 96.5%, 97.5%, 98.3, and 99.8% of the variation, respectively. The principal
376
components (PCs) for all forages (corn and barley silages) were overlapped in STC, TC,
377
and NSTC regions. For the ligneous region, three separated classes related to each barley
378
silage were distinguished.
