Abstract

Introduction: The present investigation was based on the study and results obtained on the production, chemical composition and ensilability of the foliage of three varieties of sweet potato (Toquecita, Philipino and Guayaco Morado), in order to evaluate the results obtained. according to their study variable, these being the sweet potato variety (Toquecita, Philipino and Guayaco Morado), facing two cutting times (60 and 90 days) and two cutting lengths (50 and 75%). Materials and methods: The author used a completely randomized block design in a 3x2x2 factorial arrangement, with 12 treatments and 4 repetitions. Results: He obtained forage production results of 17.15-44.00 t.ha-1 (± 3.54), with the highest yield being Toquecita at 90 days and at 75% cut; the chemical composition of the foliage showed values of 14.50-19.70% PC, 15.77-32.93% FC, 11.91-13.87% Ashes, 32.93-48.54% ELN, 2.08-3.80% EE, 75.54-89.03% Moisture, 2341-4079 Kcal/Kg EB; Philipino was identified as superior at 60 days and at 75% cut. The silage presented 11.00-19.30% PC, 13.00-31.74% Ashes, 15.70-31.90% ELN, 1.78-6.78% EE, 75.10-89.83% Humidity , 1609-3066 Kcal/Kg EB, 26.06-44.00% FC, 41.12-45.50% NDF, 36.83-43.33% FDA, 6.88-12.26% Lignin, 3.56-4.82 pH, 0.99-2.26% Total sugars. Discussion: Sweet potato has become a trending research topic in recent years due to its special nutritional and functional properties. It presents content in bioactive carbohydrates, proteins, carotenoids, flavonoids, anthocyanins, phenolic acids and minerals are some of the nutrients that are present in the leaves and roots. Conclusions: Demonstrating with this that the sweet potato varieties evaluated, influenced by the season and the cutting length, show high volumes of forage production, excellent chemical composition and good evaluation in the silage process; Therefore, its use in cattle feeding is proposed.
