keywords = {This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of different levels of enzyme on the chemical composition and fermentational properties of citrus pulp silage. In this experiment; the whole citrus pulp was manually chopped (3-4 cm length) and used as untreated or treated with urea (1g/kg fresh citrus pulp); molasses (10g/kg fresh citrus pulp); or urea (1g/kg fresh citrus pulp) and molasses (10g/kg fresh citrus pulp). Treatments were ensiled under anaerobic condition for 6 weeks. Each treatment had 4 replicates. After 42 days; trial silages were evaluated for chemical composition and fermentational properties (pH and NH3-N concentration) and the quality of silage was estimated by calculation of flieg point. The data was analyzed by SAS (2004) program and Proc GLM in a completely randomizing design. Means were separated by Duncan test at 0.05 probability level. The result showed that there were significant differences among treatments for DM; NDF; ADF; NH3N (p<0.05). The EE; Ash; and pH were not influenced by treatments. Based on fileg point data; the quality of treatments was different; and the control treatment and control with 1g U and 10g M were the best treatments for quality. This study suggests that increasing 1g U and 10g M to citrus pulp silages can be useful for ensiling of citrus pulp.},
