In situ Rumen Degradation Characteristics of Maize, Sorghum and Sorghum-Sudan Grass Hybrids Silages as Affected by Stage of Maturity
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
This research was conducted to investigate in situ degradation characteristics of maize, sorghum and sorghum-Sudan grass hybrids. whole plant of maize (TTM-815, DK-711), sorghum (SS-506, FS-5) and sorghum × Sudan grass hybrids (P-988, Grazer N2) were grown under semi-arid conditions and harvested at different maturity stages (mid-flowering (MF), milk-line (ML) and hard-dough (HD)) and ensiled. Three replicate silage samples were incubated at 0, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72 and 96 h. in three rumen fistulated Holstein heifers. Effects of species had a large impact on rumen degradation characteristics values (a, b, (a+b), c), effective dry matter degradability (EDMD) and metabolizable energy (ME) MJ/kg for maize (M), sorghum (S) and sorghum × Sudan grass hybrids (SSH) silages. Effective dry matter degradability (EDMD2) of dry matter was found as 286.65, 259.37, 265.0 g/kgfor species silages, respectively (P

Investigation Physiological and Biochemical Characteristics of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L., var. Kimia) Affected Zeolite Consumption under Water Deficit Situation
Current study was carried out to assessment the effects of zeolite on seed yield, physiological and biochemical traits of sorghum in response to different irrigation regime according split plot arrangement based on complete randomized block design with three replications in Varamin region (Central of Iran). The main plots consisted of different irrigation regime at four levels [Normal irrigatio...
متن کاملSeed germination and seedling growth of three sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) genotypes as affected by low temperatures
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) originated in the semi-arid tropics and generally is sensitive to low-temperature stress. Chilling stresses include low temperature (below 20 °C) and freezing injury (below 0 °C). In this study seed germination and seedling growth of three sorghum genotypes (KFS1, KFS2 and Speedfeed) were examined under four temperature regimes (35/15, 20/10, 13/10 and 11/8) conditi...
متن کاملDna-based Genotyping of Sorghum Hybrids
Over the last two decades, DNA fingerprinting have been increasingly used to characterize germplasm of different organisms including crop plants, which was otherwise difficult with morphological and or isozyme markers because of paucity of genetic information at phenotypic level. In the present study, two hybrid samples of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) received from Federal Seed Certification an...
متن کاملComparative genome mapping of Sorghum and maize.
Linkage relationships were determined among 85 maize low copy number nuclear DNA probes and seven isozyme loci in an F2 population derived from a cross of Sorghum bicolor ssp. bicolor x S. bicolor ssp. arundinaceum. Thirteen linkage groups were defined, three more than the 10 chromosomes of sorghum. Use of maize DNA probes to produce the sorghum linkage map allowed us to make several inferences...

Three sorghum x Sudangrass hybrids were planted in twelve 0.2-ha plots to test the effect of date of harvest and hybrid on plant maturity, DM yield, chemical composition, and in situ DM and fiber disappearance. Sweet Sunny Sue (a non-brown midrib (BMR) hybrid; nonBMR), NutriPlus BMR (a BMR hybrid; NP-BMR), and Dry Stalk BMR (a BMR hybrid; DS-BMR) were planted on 26 June 2003 at 22.4 kg of seed/...
متن کاملSilage fermentation attributes and certain rumen parameters in sheep fed two grass silages harvested at different stages of maturity
The aim of this study was to compare two tropical grass species, Panicum maximum and Digitaria eriantha, in terms of silage fermentation attributes and certain rumen fermentation characteristics of silage made either at the boot or full bloom stages of growth. A lower silage pH was recorded for the D. eriantha than for the P. maximum silage. Neither species nor maturity stage had a significant ...
