“…(2018) found that under nitrogen treatment, sweet sorghum had higher concentration of NDF and ADF. Similarly, it was also reported by Wang et al (2015) and Zhang et al (2016) that N fertilizer had limited effect on forage quality. It could also be associated with the other factors such as varieties, soil characteristics, cutting period, and environmental condition.…”

Low digestibility and toxicity of hydrocyanic acid (HCN) in sorghum forage are disadvantage for ruminant. Appropriate fertilizer application and planting strategy can improve sorghum yield and quality. A field experiment was aimed to investigate the productivity, nutrients content, and HCN concentration of Super-2 forage sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench) at different planting spaces and levels of NPK fertilizer. The seeds were planted according to 3×3 factorial design in which the first factor was planting space (J1= 90×20 cm, J2= 75×25 cm, and J3= 60×30 cm) and the second factor was three levels of NPK fertilizer (P1= 0 kg/ha; P2= 100 kg/ha; and P3= 200 kg/ha, respectively). Crude protein (CP), crude fiber (CF), and HCN concentration were affected by the interaction of NPK levels × planting spaces (p<0.05). The CP and HCN content increased as NPK levels increased at all planting space patterns while CF content decreased. NPK fertilizer application significantly increased yield production (DM, OM, and CP productions), whereas planting space treatment did not show any improvement except for CF that significantly lower on 60×30 cm planting space. Sorghum receiving 200 kg/ha of NPK at 60×30 cm planting space produced the highest CP and the lowest CF content, resulting in the highest OM and CP biomass production. In conclusion, NPK fertilizer significantly improved productivity and nutrients composition and in the same way, also increased HCN concentration of sorghum Super-2 varieties.

“…Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) forage is apparently suitable to be developed in Indonesia due to the characterization of drought tolerant and adaptive in the tropics (Sajimin et al, 2017). Sorghum has a 27% lower evapotranspiration ability than that of corn (Howell et al, 2008), and could grow in semi-arid and high salinity en-vironments (Su-jiang et al, 2016). Sorghum is an important source for forage in developing countries (Singh et al, 2017).…”

| G5 and G8 are two sorghum mutant lines projected as special sorghum varieties for forage in Indonesia. The objective of this research was to investigate the nutrient profile and in vitro gas production characteristics from two sorghum mutant lines as forage for ruminants. The two mutant lines were compared with Numbu and Pahat variety. Nutients and in vitro digestibility studies were also investigated at different generative phase. This research was arranged into a randomized block design with two factors. The first factor was the variety/mutant lines of sorghum. The second factor was the generative phase (flowering, soft dough and hard dough). Variables measured were nutrients profile, in vitro gas production and rumen fermentation products. Results showed that G5 at hard dough phase produced the highest stem sugar content (P<0.01). The highest potential in vitro gas production (a+b) was found at G5 mutant lines at hard dough stage (P<0.01). Pahat and G5 at hard dough phase had the highest in vitro true digestibility (IVTD) with 54.48 and 54.61% repectively. The highest total volatile fatty acids (TVFA) was found at G5 and G8 mutant lines at hard dough stage (P<0.01). Meanwhile, the best CO 2 :CH 4 ratio was produced by Pahat, G5 and G8 (P<0.01). Based on those findings, it can be concluded that G5 mutant lines had higher quality of nutrients profile, potential in vitro gas production and IVTD. Increasing generative phase also could increase in vitro digestibility for all varieties/ mutant lines.

Sorghum stands out among other plants recommended for ensiling due to its forage composition, its resistance to drought, and its planting range. New cultivars of grain and sweet sorghum that can be used for silage production are available, but there is little information regarding their ensiling characteristics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the fermentation characteristics at the ensiling of different purpose sorghum cultivars, at two crop periods. The trial was carried out at the Plant Production Department of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rondônia, Colorado do Oeste campus, Rondônia, Brazil, and chemical analyses were performed at the Laboratory of Animal Nutrition, at the Federal University of Mato Grosso, Cuiabá campus, Mato Grosso, Brazil. The experimental design used was a randomized block, in split-plot design, with four replicates. The plot treatments consisted of six sorghum cultivars grown for different purposes (grain sorghum: BRS 308 and BRS 310; forage sorghum: BR 655 and BRS 610; sweet sorghum: BRS 506 and CMSXS 647). Split-plot treatments consisted of two cropping seasons (first crop and second crop). The grain sorghum cultivar BRS 310 was the only one that had suitable dry matter content for ensiling; however, it was also the only one that did not show ideal water soluble carbohydrate content for ensiling. Nevertheless, all treatments presented pH below than 4.2 and ammonia nitrogen lower than 12% of total N, which indicates that the fermentation inside the silo had proceeded well. For sweet sorghum cultivars, higher ethanol and butyric acid content were observed for the first crop than for the second crop. All evaluated sorghum cultivars can be used for silage production, but the use of sweet sorghum is recommended at the second crop. Key words: Alcoholic fermentation. Fermentability coefficient.
