Abstract
Lema, M., Felix, A., Salako, S., Cebert, E. and Bishnoi. U. 2001. Nutrient content and in vitro dry matter digestibility of silages made from various grain sorghum cultivars. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 19: 129–136. In the tropics, grain sorghum is an important grain and forage crop. Silages made from eleven grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] varieties were studied to determine the effect of grain sorghum variety on nutrient content and in vitro dry matter digestibility (TVDMD). Results from silage analysis revealed significant (P<0.05) varietal differences in crude protein (CP), Ca, P, Mg, K, Na, gross energy (GE), ash, neutral-detergent fiber (NDF), acid-detergent lignin (ALL), cellulose, hemicellulose contents and IVDMD among grain sorghum varieties.
