Abstract

form of red clover (2n – 4n), cultivars within the genetic form: 2n (Krynia, Parada), 4n
(Jubilatka, Bona) and DM x form, DM x 2n, DM x 4n. Fermentation and proteolysis
during the ensilage of red clover were affected primarily by wilting, whereas genetic
factors (genetic form, cultivar) exerted a lesser effect. However, the genetic form of
red clover affected the true protein content of silage and the extent of proteolysis
during the ensiling process. The effect of the genetic form of red clover on the extent
of proteolysis in silage (at similar levels of water-soluble carbohydrates and buffering
capacity) suggests that diploid and tetraploid red clover cultivars differ with respect to
chemical properties (poliphenol oxidase activity, polyphenol content) affecting
proteolysis.
