In this study, total fatty acid composition and volatile fatty acid of silage species in Turkey was determined by using Gas Chromatography (Shimadzu 15-A). Total lipids were extracted from the corn silage, alfalfa silage and figüre silage samples by the method of Folch et al. Silage species were a total of 15 different fatty acids. These fatty acids between C12 to C24 have changed. Unsaturated fatty acids were the most corn silage. Linoleic acid levels were at the highest levels in alfalfa silage. In this study, unsaturated fatty acid is higher saturated fatty acid. ω6/ω3 ratio is 6. This value is high. In the report of HMSO, it was suggested that the minimum ratio of PUFA/SFA should be 0.45. In this study this value is 2. According to this result, oil of seed of corn silage is healthy.
