Utilization of Micronized Sorghum Grain by Dairy Calves

Utilization of corn silage carotene by dairy calves.

p ERRY et al. (1957)and Neumann (1960) reported that steers fed an all-concentrate ration developed vitamin A deficiency even though carotene was present in the diet in excess of requirements (N.R.C., 1958). Jordan et al. (1963) found similar results when steers were fed principally on corn silage. Steers fed a "high" nitrate silage were depleted of their liver vitamin A reserves more rapidly t...

Genetic engineering of grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L

PhD thesis Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench), the fifth most important cereal crop in the world, is one of the most important staple crops in Africa and South Asia and represents the only viable food grain for many of the world’s most food insecure people. However, sorghum grain shares the typical nutritional deficiencies of cereal grains, a low content of several essential amino acids. There...

Metabolism of metolachlor by a microsomal fraction isolated from grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) shoots.

A microsomal fraction isolated from the shoots of 3- to 4-day-old, dark-grown, grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor cv. Funk G 522 DR) seedlings was characterized. The preparations had a cytochrome P-450 content that varied from approximately 90 to 150 pmol P-450/mg protein with cytochrome P-420 varying from 0 to 3% of the P-450 content. Type I difference spectra were formed with cinnamic acid and me...
