Reviewer 2 Report

The title does not read so well, consider changing from "Effect of Dried Tea Residues of Different Processing Techniques on the Nutritional, Fermentation Quality and Bacterial Structure of Silage Alfalfa" to "Effect of Dried Tea Residues of Different Processing Techniques on Nutritional Parameters, Fermentation Quality and Bacterial Structure of Silage Alfalfa"

Line 12 processing byproduct produced in tea production --> 3 x word repetition, rephrase

Line 44 will remain the largest producer of tea in 2020--> was the largest producer of tea in 2020

line 100: on September 25, 2021: Why do you report the results 2 1/2 years later?

Why did the white tea residue not behave similarly to green tea residue?

Are there regional differences from tea residue, e.g. impact of soil?
