Stored Grain Pack Factor Measurements for Soybeans, Grain Sorghum, Oats, Barley, and Wheat

Effects of substituting sorghum grain for barley on milk yield and composition of dairy cows

Analysis of grain yield stability and assessment of genotype × environment interaction for grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) genotypes

The interaction of genotype × environment creates complications in yield prediction and is a challenge for agronomy and plant breeding programs. To evaluate grain yield stability and genotype × environment interaction for 18 local and exotic grain sorghum cultivars, lines, and hybrids, a field experiment was conducted using randomized complete block design with three replications in four region...

Stored Grain - Mycotoxins

Mycotoxins are toxic fungal metabolites that cause intoxication when consumed by animals, including humans. Fungi that produce mycotoxins are called toxigenic fungi. The toxigenic fungi do not produce mycotoxins after they have been ingested by animals and humans. Toxigenic fungi grow in corn, cereals, soybeans, sorghum, peanuts, silage and other food, feed crops or hay in the field, and in gra...

Root Rots of Wheat, Oats, Rye, Barley

The root rots of wheat, oats, barley, and rye are among the least conspicuous diseases of cereals, but they are among the most destructive. They are caused by many species of fungi, which are widespread and live on or in seed, soil, and dead plant refuse. They attack a large number of hosts and thrive under a wide range of conditions. To the many types of root rots in cereal crops many names ha...

Reconstitution of Grain Sorghum for Ruminants

The mechanisms by which reconstitution increases rumen degradation of grain sorghum and relevant studies that have measured effects of reconstitution on growth performance by finishing cattle were reviewed. The growth performance data summarized indicate that reconstitution of sorghum improved feed efficiency by 15% when compared to dry-rolled sorghum with a 7.6% increase in rate of gain. Indiv...
