Abstract
Triticale (X. Triticosecale Wittmack) is the first man-made cereal crop that can be simultaneously used for forage and for grain. Three successive cuttings with no grain yield, one and two cuttings plus grain yield were obtained. The removal of triticale was affected by the number of tillers and leaf area values, whereas, high forage yield was influenced by the number of tillers and leaf area value. Forage removal reduced number of tillers / m², spikes / m², number of kernels / spike and grain yield.
Crude protein, ether extract, ash and digestable crude protein were decreased by the cutting frequency, in contrast with crude fiber, nitrogen free extract and organic matter which increased in values by the cutting frequency. Insito dry matter and insito organic matter disappearance in the second cut were lower in values than in the first for all tested cultivars with no significant differences between all cultivars, indicating more nutritive value for the first cutting forage yield.
