Abstract: -The purpose of this study was to evaluate the voluntary intake and digestibility of three sorghum (Sorghum bicolor, L. Moench) hybrid silages in sheep. The hybrids used were H1 -BRS 655 (CMSXS 222 A × CMSXS 235 R), with tannin; H2 -(ATF54 A × CMSXS 235 R), without tannin; and H3 -BRS 610 (CMSXS 232 A × CMSXS 234 R), without tannin. The intake and digestibility of dry matter (DM), gross energy (GE), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF) and crude protein (CP) were measured. Eighteen crossbr… Show more

“…On the other hand grasses typically have higher NDF content and lower DM digestibility as compared to corn and alfalfa silage. The observed DM digestibility in the present study was higher than DM digestibility of alfalfa silage (Hassanet et al, 2014) and sorghum silage with different tannin content (Teixeira et al, 2014), but lower than DM digestibility of corn silage (Hassanat et al, 2014) and grass silage (Yan & Agnew, 2004). The apparent fiber digestibility and NDF or ADF were high (>69%).…”

“…The NDF content of forage is an important indicator of the amount of DM that could be consumed by ruminants owing to its ability to limit feed intake as a result of filling effect (de Teixeira et al, 2014; Mertens, 1987; Oba & Allen, 1999) However, the high fiber content of sorghum silage is considered its greatest nutritional limitation when compared with corn silage (Bolsen et al, 2003). In this study, the NDF and hemicellulose content of S. almum increased quadratically from boot to dough stage (due to the addition of fibrous components of the spikelet) and subsequently declined at the maturity stage.…”

“…The estimated low DMI of the silages produced from S. almum ensiled at the dough stage was due to the high concentration of NDF in this treatment. There is a negative correlation between NDF and DMI; therefore, the former is used to predict the later (de Teixeira et al, 2014; Horrocks & Vallentine, 1999b; Mertens, 1987; Oba & Allen, 1999).…”

“…The sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) occupies a prominent position as to its importance among the most consumed/produced cereals in the world, together with wheat, maize, rice and barley (FAO, 2019;Nida et al, 2019). In Brazil, its production has gained prominence in recent years, being cultivated different types of sorghum (grain, forage, broom, saccharine and biomass), which are mainly destined for animal feed and biodiesel production (Neumann et al, 2004;Almorade & Hady, 2009;Teixeira et al, 2014). However, Brazilian productivity is still considered low, mainly due to occurrences of diseases, among them the sooty stripe of sorghum, caused by the fungus Ramulispora sorghi (Ellis & Everh.)…”
