Abstract
Lema, M., Felix, A., Salako, S. and Bishnoi, U. 2001. Nutrient content and in vitro dry matter digestibility of silages made from various sweet sorghum cultivars. J. Appl. Anim. Sci., 20: 99–106. Sweet sorghum is an important forage crop in the tropics. Silages made from ten sweet sorghum varieties were studied to determine the effect of variety on nutrient content and in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD). 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 (ADL), cellulose, hemicelluiose contents and IVDMD among sweet sorghum varieties.
