Cattail (Typha latifolia L.) and common reed (Phragmites australis Cav.) are species that grow spontaneously in wetlands and produce high biomass. This research was carried out to reveal the potential of these species to be used as an alternative silage plant. These plants were harvested in two different growing stage (boot stage and flowering stage) in 2021 and 2022, and they were ensiled by adding rolled barley at four different rates (0, 5, 10 and 15%). In this study, the dry matter, crude protein, ndf and adf ratios of cattail plant at different harvesting times (boot stage and flowering), which were examined by adding rolled barley at certain ratios, varied between 30.5%-30.3%, 13.35%-12.14%, 57.07%-59.11% and 35.34%-34.21%, respectively, while in common reed plant, the parameters examined varied between 44.8%-48.3%, 17.51%-16.45%, 53.99%-56-28%.
