Sorghum is a Poaceae family plant that produces lot of hay. A field experiment was carried out at the University Thessaly’s experimental farm to investigate hay yield and quality characteristics six different sorghum varieties (V1: Buffalo grain, V2: Elite, V3: Big Kahuna, V4: 25K1009, V5: 4264, V6: 5D61) under nitrogen fertilization levels (N1: 0, N2: 80, N3: 160, N4: 240 kg ha−1, using urinar...

Tannins have been used to trigger positive effects on ruminal metabolism. So, increasing levels of tannic acid in a sorghum-based diet for five Holstein/Zebu crossbred lactating heifers were subject 5 × Latin square experimental design, x tannins periods. The excretion total purine derivatives, through the collection spot urine samples, and N concentration values milk used. All received 9.87 kg...

Two experiments evaluated feeding soybean hulls (SBH) in finishing diets that contain distillers grains plus solubles on performance and carcass characteristics. Dietary concentrations of SBH were 0, 12.5, 25, and 37.5% of diet DM. In Exp. 1, 167 crossbred yearling steers (395 ± 22 kg of BW) were fed for 117 d in a randomized block design in which pelleted SBH replaced dry-rolled corn. All diet...
