본 연구는 2013년 5월 22일~24일 3일에 걸쳐 톨 페스큐엔도파이트 프리 품종인 Jesup을 공시하여 톨 페스큐 위주의 목초지에서 수행되었다. 시험기간 평균 온도는 $20.7^{\circ}C$였고 상대습도는 3일평균 64.8%였다. 일조시간은 3일평균 9.27시간으로 건초를 조제하기에 알맞은 기상조건이었다. 컨디셔너별 처리 (임펠러, 로울러)와 무처리로 3가지 처리를 비교하였고, 반전횟수에 따른 차이를 확인하기 위해 임펠러 컨디셔너로 예취한 후 1일 1회 반전, 1일 2회 반전 두 처리를 두었다. 임펠러와 로울러의 수분함량 변화는 둘째날 5월 23일 13시 임펠러 37.30%, 로울러 33.64%였고 무처리구는 51.75%로 컨디셔닝 처리한 두 구와 차이가 컸다. 24일 13시 측정된 수분함량은 임펠러 20.32%, 로울러 19.37%로 20% 전후를 보였고, 무처리구는 28.84%로 약 8~9%의 차이를 보였다. 반전횟수 차이를 보는 실험에서는 23일 13시 1회반전 37.53%, 2회 반전 35.23%였고 24일 13시 1회 반전시 20.48%, 2회 반전시 16.74%로 나타났다. 건초 사료가치 분석 시 컨디셔너별 CP 함량은 무처리 12.5% 임펠러 12.7% 로울러 12.9% 나타났고, ADF는 무처리 37.2%, 임펠러 37.2%, 로울러 35.1%로 나타나 NDF, TDN, RFV 모두 차이는 없었다. 1회 반전시 CP 함량은 12.7%, 2회 반전 12.8%였고 반전횟수에 따른 사료가치의 차이는 없는 것으로 판단된다.

The present study aimed at evaluating the intensity of Tifton 85 conditioning using a mower conditioner with free-swinging flail fingers and storage times on dehydration curve, fungi presence, nutritional value and in vitro digestibility of Tifton 85 bermudagrass hay dry matter (DM). The dehydration curve was determined in the whole plant for ten times until the baling. The zero time corresponded to the plant before cutting, which occurred at 11:00 and the other collections were carried out at 8:00, 10:00, 14:00, and 16:00. The experimental design was randomised blocks with two intensities of conditioning (high and low) and ten sampling times, with five replications. The high and low intensities related to adjusting the deflector plate of the free iron fingers (8 and 18 cm). In order to determine gas exchanges during Tifton 85 bermudagrass dehydration, there were evaluations of mature leaves, which were placed in the upper middle third of each branch before the cutting, at every hour for 4 hours. A portable gas analyser was used by an infrared IRGA (6400xt). The analysed variables were photosynthesis (A), stomatal conductance (gs), internal $CO_2$ concentration (Ci), transpiration (T), water use efficiency (WUE), and intrinsic water use efficiency (WUEi). In the second part of this study, the nutritional value of Tifton 85 hay was evaluated, so randomised blocks were designed in a split plot through time, with two treatments placed in the following plots: high and low intensity of cutting and five different time points as subplots: cutting (additional treatment), baling and after 30, 60, and 90 days of storage. Subsequently, fungi that were in green plants as well as hay were determined and samples were collected from the grass at the cutting period, during baling, and after 30, 60, and 90 days of storage. It was observed that Tifton 85 bermudagrass dehydration occurred within 49 hours, so this was considered the best time for drying hay. Gas exchanges were more intense before cutting, although after cutting they decreased until ceasing within 4 hours. The lowest values of acid detergent insoluble nitrogen were obtained with low conditioning intensity after 30 days of storage, 64.8 g/kg DM. The in vitro dry matter of Tifton 85 bermudagrass did not differ among the storage times or the conditioning intensities. There was no fungi present in the samples collected during the storage period up to 90 days after dehydration, with less than 30 colony forming units found on plate counting. The use of mower conditioners in different intensities of injury did not speed up the dehydration time of Tifton 85.
