Abstract: The objective was to select sorghum genotypes for silage production using its chemical characteristics. The experiment was carried out in the facilities of Embrapa Maize and Sorghum in Sete Lagoas, state of Minas Gerais, to evaluate the agronomic characteristics, and nutritional quality of silage of twelve sorghum genotypes. We used a randomized block design with three replications. In relation to the production of green matter, the genotypes SF15 Volumax and BR610 stood out (52.07; 48.00 and 41.87 ton ha-1). … Show more

“…Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is well adapted to sudden climatic variations, showing high concentrations of soluble carbohydrates either under excessive rains or periods of drought. In addition, sorghum is one of the main sources of feed for ruminants in semiarid regions in the tropics (Silva et al, 2012;Moura et al, 2016). To ensure enough forage production to supplement the animal diet throughout the year, it is necessary to develop high-yielding cultivars adapted to target environments.…”

“…The pH obtained was higher than the indicated range for adequate silages, which is between 3.6 and 4.2 (Moura et al, 2016). At the beginning of the ensiling process, a reduction of pH to safe values for efficient fermentation by lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus, that promote rapid pH reduction inside the silo (Muck et al, 2018).…”

“…At the beginning of the ensiling process, a reduction of pH to safe values for efficient fermentation by lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus, that promote rapid pH reduction inside the silo (Muck et al, 2018). Therefore, in association with NH3-N, pH is a safe indicator of the fermentative quality of silages, since low values of both indicate rapid stabilization of the silage (Moura et al, 2016).…”

“…O sorgo é uma das plantas forrageiras mais difundida no Brasil, devido a sua facilidade de plantio, manejo, colheita e armazenamento, possuindo diversos grupos de cultivares, com alto valor nutritivo e alta concentração de carboidratos solúveis, em que justificam o potencial dessa planta para alimentação animal (Moura et al, 2016), principalmente nas regiões semiáridas do Nordeste Brasileiro, com níveis de proteína bruta (PB) entre 8% e 15% e com os nutrientes digestíveis totais (NDT) entre 60% e 70% (Martini et al, 2019) quando utilizada in natura. Oliveira et al (2010) encontraram valores da silagem de sorgo com 24,1% para a matéria seca e 6,1% para a proteína bruta, comprovando sua proximidade nutricional com a silagem de milho (27,3% MS e 7,2% PB).…”
