Advantages of Forage Sorghum for Silage in Limited Input Systems
Water shortages are threatening the sustainability of irrigated agriculture in dry environments such as the Southern High Plains (SHP) of the U.S. Corn has been a staple silage crop grown to supply the enormous forage demand associated with dairy and beef feeding industries. The relatively high water use of corn, however, is limiting the extent to which corn can be grown. Although irrigated, co...
متن کاملForage Yield and Silage Quality of Dual-Purpose Corn Hybrids in Two Levels of Urea Fertigation
The experiment was completed to evaluate the responses of forage yield and silage quality of dual-purpose corn hybrids to urea fertigation. For this purpose, two studies were conducted each as a split plot experiment based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at two locations in research farms of College of Agriculture, Isfahan University of Technology, Isfahan, Iran, i...
متن کاملSilage Fermentation & Additives
The primary goal of making silage is to maximize the preservation of original nutrients in the forage crop for feeding at a later date. Unfortunately, fermentation in the silo is a very uncontrolled process usually leading to less than optimal preservation of nutrients. In order to assist in the fermentation process, various silage additives have been used to improve the nutrient and energy rec...
متن کاملReevaluating On-farm Inputs in Corn and Forage Sorghum Silage Systems
Beef and dairy industries form the base of livestock production in New Mexico. In 2003, Curry, Roosevelt, and Chaves counties accounted for over 48% of all livestock cash receipts in the state (New Mexico Agricultural Statistics, 2003). Milk is the state’s number one cash commodity, producing over $790 million in 2003; and these three counties accounted for over 63% of milk cow numbers and milk...
متن کاملAssessment of Sorghum Silage for Sheep
From preliminary studies of the feeding value for mediumwool Merino wethers of various samples of sorghum silage, the following points emerge : 1. Mature silage, in addition to being moderately unpalatable, had a low level of digestible protein, a variable digestible crude fibre and a high mineral content. In spite of the latter, most sheep had negative mineral balances. A feature of the ash co...
