“…Melhores resultados de desempenho de frangos de corte foram obtidos por Abade & Gomez (1984) com altos níveis de milheto na ração. Já Bastos (1999), com suínos em crescimento e terminação, mostrou a possibilidade de substituir 36% do milho pelo milheto.…”

“…Rostagno et al (2000) avaliaram a composição química do milheto e do milho, obtida em experimentos realizados no Brasil e verificaram valores superiores de PB (12,08 vs 8,57%), de gordura (4,19 vs 3,46%) e de energia bruta (3980 vs 3933 kcal/kg) em relação ao milho. Estes valores encontram-se próximos aos obtidos por Adeola & Orban (1995) e Lawrence et al (1995).…”

“…Para coelhos não foram encontrados na literatura brasileira trabalhos sobre a utilização do milheto em rações. Abade & Gomez (1984) obtiveram, com a utilização de altos níveis de milheto, ganhos de peso superiores aos obtidos com a utilização de milho em rações de frangos de corte em crescimento e terminação. Por outro lado, Café et al (1994) e Stringhini (1994 não observaram, respectivamente, diferenças na postura e na qualidade do ovo de poedeiras comerciais e codornas japonesas em postura recebendo rações isoenergéticas contendo milheto em substituição ao milho.…”

RESUMOABSTRACT -Three experiments were carried out to determine the nutritive value and to evaluate the performance of growing rabbits on fed isoenergy rations containing different pearl millet levels. In a digestibility assay (experiment 1) the nutritive values of Common, BN2 and Iapar IA 98301 pearl millet were determined for 40 male New Zealand White rabbits, 45 days old, allotted in a completely randomized design, with 10 replications. Pearl millet replaced 30% of reference ration in each treatment. Values of digestible energy of Common, BN2 and Iapar IA 98301 pearl millet were respectively 3410; 3493 and 3505 kcal/kg (as feed basis). In performance assay (experiments 2 and 3) rations containing increased levels of Common or Iapar IA 98301 pearl millet cultivars (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%) substituted corn. In each experiment 60 New Zealand White rabbits (30 males and 30 females), 40 days old, were alloted in a completely randomized design, with 12 replications each. No differences were observed (P>0.05) in growing rabbits performance when Common pearl millet replaced corn. Quadratic effect was reported when corn replaced Iapar IA 98301. Lower weight gain, worse feed:gain ratio and lower carcass weight were obtained, respectively, at 64.09; 58.03 and 63.58% Iapar IA 98301 pearl millet level. However, results were satisfactory for 100% replacement. It may be concluded that pearl millet has good nutritive value and Common or Iapar IA 98301 pearl millet cultivars may replace corn in growing rabbits rations.Key Words: digestibility, carcass, energy value, feeding Introdução A avaliação de alimentos energéticos alternativos em rações animais representa uma prática importante para disponibilizar fontes opcionais de ingredientes para substituir o milho, sem perdas no desempenho animal e que sejam economicamente interessantes. Dentre estes alimentos, o milheto (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br) vem sendo objeto de avaliação para uso em rações.Além da resistência à falta de água e ao calor, o milheto apresenta bom desenvolvimento em solos

“…Researchers in India and Africa have reported that pearl millet compares favorably with corn (Zea maysL.) in poultry diets Bargaul, 1976, 1977;Sharma et al, 1979;Sinha et al, 1980;Abate and Gomez, 1984). Sharma et al (1979) evaluated the chemical composition, nitrogencorrected metabolizable energy (ME n ) content, growth response, and efficiencies of energy and protein deposition in broiler chicks fed diets containing pearl millet, wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), corn {Zea mays L.), or sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) moench).…”

Three experiments were conducted to determine the nitrogen-corrected metabolizable energy (MEn) content of ground pearl millet [Pennisetum americanum (L.) Leeke]. On a dry matter basis, 40% ground pearl millet was substituted for an equivalent amount of glucose monohydrate (reference substance) to determine MEn using male broiler chicks. Food and excreta samples were analyzed for nitrogen, gross energy, chromic oxide, and dry matter. On a dry matter basis, the MEn content of the ground pearl millet ranged from 2.891 to 3.204 kcal/g, depending upon the pearl millet cultivar used. These results suggest that previously reported MEn values for pearl millet may be underestimated by up to 21%.

“…with high yields of grain has created interest in pearl millet as a substitute for com (Zea mays L.) and sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] in animal feed (Abate and Gomez, 1984;Hill and Hanna, 1990;Smith et al, 1989). Pearl millet tolerance of soil acidity and AI toxicity allows this crop to develop a deep root system and explore a greater volume of soil than other grain crops (Ahlrich et al, 1991).…”

Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (R.) Br.] is a high‐quality grain crop that can that can be grown without irrigation during hot, dry summers in the southeastern United States. The N rate required for optimum pearl millet grain yield varies widely in published studies, possibly because of variability in residual soil N from the subsoil. Field studies were conducted in the southern Coastal Plain at Tifton, GA, on a Tifton loamy sand (fine‐loamy, siliceous, thermic Plinthic Kandiudult) with nitrate accumulations near subsoil plinthite. The objective was to determine if pearl millet can extract N from acidic, relatively impermeable subsoils. Nitrate N (1 M KCl‐extractable) was 4 mg kg−1 in the surface 0.6 m, 1 mg kg−1 in the next 0.6 m, and 6 mg kg−1 from 1.2 to 1.5 m. We fertilized pearl millet field plots with two levels of N (0 and 168 kg ha−1) and studied root development during the growing seasons in 1993 and 1994. Soil cores were taken 40 d after planting to a depth of 1.2 m, separated into 0.3‐m depth segments, and root length density was measured. Roots were found in the deepest segments. Nitrogen fertilization increased the proportion of the root length density found in the surface soil in one year. We also injected 15N as 60% atom l5N‐enriched KNO3 at a depth of 1 m at 30 and 40 d after planting. At physiological maturity, atom % 15N abundance in the plants ranged from 10.1 to 12.0 where 15N was injected and was near natural abundance where no 15N was injected. These results indicate that pearl millet can extract N from 1 to 1.2 m in an acidic and impermeable subsoil.
