Abstract
The effects of different types of storage on nutritional quality values of barley and maize are examined. For this purpose, 3 different storage types, including horizontal-reinforced concrete storage, vertical-reinforced concrete silo and verticalsteel silo were taken into consideration. Nutritional quality values (dry matter, crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, crude ash, and metabolizable energy) of samples were analyzed in the laboratory in four replicates. Total of 438 samples were collected from each of the stored product stacks during the storage for 12 months. Total average nutritional value losses have been found for barley were 1.74% in horizontal-reinforced concrete storage, 1.23% in reinforced concrete silo, 2.82% in vertical steel silo. These values have been found accordingly as 6.21%, 3.02%, and 2.04% for maize stacks. As a result of this research, the vertical steel silo was determined to be more appropriate for maize storage while the horizontal-reinforced concrete storage structure and vertical reinforced concrete silo were suitable for barley storage
