“…Rostagno et al (2000) evaluated the chemical composition of pearl millet and maize obtained from experiments performed in Brazil and found higher values of CP (12.08 vs. 8.57%), fat (4.19 vs. 3.46%) and gross energy (3980 vs. 3933 kcal kg -1 ) for maize. These values are close to those obtained in the experiment and to those obtained by Adeola and Orban (1995) and Lawrence et al (1995). Gomes et al (2006), evaluating the CP content of different parts of the sorghum plant at 112 DAS, observed a higher CP content in the panicle (9.72%) compared with the leaves (6.31%) and stems (1.70%).…”

ABSTRACT. To determine the chemical composition of intercropping and monoculture cultivars of sorghum, millet and midget-guandu, we determined the production of dry matter (DM), ashes, gross fiber, ethereal extract, gross protein (GP), nutritious digestive total, and extractive without oxygen. The experimental design used was completely random blocks with four repetitions split into 18 treatments: monoculture sorghum, monoculture midget-guandu, monoculture millet, intercropping sorghum and midget-guandu, millet and midget-guandu and millet and sorghum, with cutting times at 30, 60 and 90 days after sowing (DAS). Millet had the highest production of dry biomass at 30 and 60 DAS in monoculture and intercropping. The highest DM was obtained by intercropping (90 DAS). Sorghum intercropping had the highest crude protein at 30 DAS, and the midget-guandu promoted increased crude protein at intercropping.Keywords: consortium of cultures, productivity, legume, grass.Composição bromatológica do sorgo, milheto e guandu-anão em diferentes épocas de corte em consórcio e monocultivo RESUMO. Com objetivo de determinar a composição bromatológica dos cultivares de sorgo, milheto e guandu, consorciados e solteiros, determinou-se produção de matéria seca (MS), cinzas, fibra bruta, extrato etéreo, proteína bruta (PB), nutrientes digestivos totais e extrativos não nitrogenados. Utilizou-se delineamento experimental em blocos completos ao acaso, com quatro repetições, com parcelas subdivididas em 18 tratamentos: sorgo solteiro, guandu solteiro, milheto solteiro, sorgo e guandu consorciados, milheto e guandu consorciados e milheto e sorgo consorciados, com épocas de corte nos estágios de 30, 60 e 90 dias após a semeadura (DAS). O milheto apresentou a maior produção de MS aos 30 e 60 DAS no monocultivo e em consórcio. Os maiores valores de MS foram obtidos no consórcio (90 DAS). Os consórcios de sorgo apresentaram maiores valores de proteína bruta aos 30 DAS e o guandu-anão promoveu aumento de proteína bruta no cultivo consorciado.

“…Therefore, species with rapid growth and intense regrowth are favored because they may be used as fodder as a first stage and, after regrowth, in the form of straw for the NT system in the subsequent summer season (ALVARENGA et al, 2003).…”

“…Besides, the protein content of millet is higher than corn and the essential amino acid profile is more balanced in millet than in corn (Heuzé and Tran, 2012). The high essential amino acid concentrations, the high digestibility of these amino acids (Adeola and Orban, 1995;Yin et al, 2002) and the changes in the small intestine mucosa morphology were reported to be the factors leading to a better feed efficiency with millet (Baurhoo et al, 2011;Goodarzi Boroojeni et al, 2011). It could therefore be assumed that bird's nutrient digestibility increases when millet is used in sorghum-based diets.…”

Two experiments were conducted to investigate the use of sorghum, cottonseed meal and millet in broiler diets and their interaction when they are used simultaneously. In Experiment 1, a corn-soybean meal control diet was compared with eight experimental treatments based on low tannin sorghum (S30, S45 and S60), cottonseed meal (CM15, CM40) or both ingredients included in the same diet (S30/CM40, S45/CM25 and S60CM15). Results showed that BW gain was not affected by the inclusion of sorghum or cottonseed meal. However, feed intake tended to be affected by the cereal type with the highest values with sorghum-based diets. Feed conversion ratio increased ( P < 0.001) with sorghum-based diets compared with the control diet, whereas a combination of cottonseed meal and sorghum in the same diet did not affect the feed conversion ratio. Significant differences ( P < 0.001) were observed in apparent ileal digestibility (%) of protein and energy with the cottonseed meal and sorghum/cottonseed meal-based diets having lower protein and energy digestibility compared with corn-based diets. In Experiment 2, a control diet was compared with six diets in which corn was substituted at 60%, 80% or 100% by either sorghum or millet and other three diets with simultaneous inclusion of these two ingredients (S30/M30, S40/M40, S50/M50). Single or combined inclusion of sorghum and millet resulted in similar feed intake and growth performance as the control diet. Apparent ileal digestibility of protein and energy was higher with millet-based diets ( P < 0.001). Total tract digestibility of protein in sorghum and millet-based diets tended to decrease linearly with the increasing level of substitution. Sorghum-based diets resulted in lower total tract digestibility of fat compared with millet and sorghum/millet-based diets ( P < 0.001). Higher total tract digestibility of starch were obtained with the control diet and millet-based diets compared with the sorghum-based treatments. Results of the two experiments suggest that broiler growth performance was not affected by the dietary level of sorghum, millet or cottonseed meal. Nutrient digestion can, however, be affected by these feed ingredients.

“…O milheto grão vem sendo testado como fonte alternativa de alimento para suínos (ADEOLA & ORBAN, 1995;BANDEIRA et al, 1996;BASTOS et al, 2002;BASTOS et al, 2005) e aves (RODRIGUES et al, 2001). Isso tem ocorrido em função do bom desenvolvimento do milheto em condições adversas de clima e solo brasileiros, o que levou ao aumento de áreas ocupadas com esta cultura.…”

“…Não raro, o nível de proteína supera 15%, o que, para a alimentação de suínos, poderia representar diminuição no uso de farelo de soja e conseqüente redução de custo da ração. Além disto, tem-se verificado que o milheto possui maior quantidade de aminoácidos essenciais (lisina, metionina e treonina) que o milho (ADEOLA & ORBAN, 1995).…”
