This experiment ensiled the mixture of potato residues and straw stalk and determined its conventional nutrition ingredient, 24 cows of same age , parity, milk yield and Lactation days were randomly divided into 4 groups, Three of the test group were fed with 25%, 50%, 100% instead of mixed silage , the control group fed with whole-plant corn silage, Determined the milk yield and composition, digestion trial was carried in the last 10 days of Feeding trial , Finally, evaluated the effect of feeding cow with potato residues to provide the basis of use of Potato starch in feeding.The results show that: content of dry matter, crude fat and crude fiber of the mixed silage were 2.64%, 1.92% and 4.14% respectively lower than whole-plant corn silage, but content of Crude protein and phosphorus were 6.6% high 7.6% higher than the whole-plant corn silage, content of calcium is the same.Throughout the trial period, total milk production was not significant (P>0.05) ,Test-day milk production of groups one and two were a litter higher than the control group, and groups three declined slightly.Milk fat percentage of group two and three was significant difference with control group (P <0.05), raised 3.8% and 5.8% higher compared with the control group, The other groups had no significant difference (P> 0.05). milk protein between group two and group one were significant difference (P <0.05) ,The other groups had no significant difference (P> 0.05). Lactose of group three was 0.89% significant higher than the control group, The other groups had no significant difference (P> 0.05). Density and non-fat solids of group three was significantly different with group two(P <0.05).The rate of digestibility of DM of group three was significant difference with control group (P<0.05),raised 2.24%,the other groups had no significant difference (P>0.05). The rate digestibility of CP of the three test groups was very significant higher than the control group(P<0.01), raised 4.45%,2.94% and 4.71% respectively, group three significant than group two (P<0.05) , The other groups had no significant difference (P> 0.05). The rate of digestibility of ADF of the three test groups was very significant higher than the control group (P<0.01) , raised 8.32%, 11.29% and 9.16% respectively , The other groups had no significant difference (P> 0.05). The rate of digestibility of NDF of group three was very significant higher than the control group and group one (P<0.01 ),was significant higher than group two(P<0.05), group two significant than group one (P<0.05).
