Abstract: In order to provide reference for straw resources utilization, 25 summer maize varieties selected from the major maize producing areas in China were cultivated in Tianjin. The straw feeding quality of these varieties was comprehensively evaluated and the maize varieties with high feeding quality were finally screened. The results indicated that there existed significant differences in CF, ADF, NDF and CP among 25 summer maize varieties. Since‘Xianyu 335’, ‘Zhengdan 958’and‘Jindan 52’had relatively higher feeding quality resulted from their lower fiber content and higher crude protein content, these three varieties could be widely popularized in practice instraw resources utilization.

Key words: summer maize, straw, feeding quality
