Effect of feeding differently processed sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) bagasse based complete diet on nutrient utilization and microbial N supply in growing ram lambs
Different roughage-to-concentrate ratios of sweet sorghum bagasse (SSB) (a by-product of the biofuel industry)-based complete diets were assessed. Twenty four growing
Nellore × Deccani ram lambs aged about 3 months (average body wt., 10.62±0.25 kg) were randomly allotted to four complete rations ...
In the mixed crop–livestock systems, while general relation among feed quality, productivity and soil nutrient management have been reported, information on the effects of extractable soil nutrients on crop residue (CR) feed quality traits is scarce (e.g. in semiarid regions of Karnataka, India)....

The paper explores opportunities and limitations for concomitant improvement of maize grain quantity and quality traits and maize stover quantity and quality traits in 60 parental lines, 30 crosses/local checks and 12 released hybrids. Investigated grain quality traits were protein (CP), fat, met...

Panel of inbred lines were test crossed to a tester CML312SR and evaluated for stover fodder quality and agronomic traits. These lines were genotyped for by SNP's (55 K illumine and GBS) and 445 K SNP marker were used for GWAS for Stover N, ADF and IVOMD. Significant desirable and undesirable tra...

Staygreen quantitative trait loci (QTL) were introgressed into sorghum genetic backgrounds S-35 and R-16 generating 52 and 39 lines, respectively, to investigate the effects of staygreen introgression on stover fodder traits and grain–stover relationships. Trials were conducted in the post-rainy ...

Sixty elite maize inbred lines were selected from CIMMYT-Asia maize program for stover fodder quality analysis. These lines were selected based on high per se and cross performance across several locations in the Asian tropics and have wide adaptability across the region. The line evaluation tria...

An in vitro study was conducted to evaluate the optimum roughage to concentrate ratio in complete rations using unconventional sweet sorghum bagasse (SSB), a by product of ethanol industry as sole roughage source. Eight rations were prepared with roughage to concentrate ratio of 100:0 to 30:70. S...
