Water-use efficient sorghum (7) and pearl millet (5) forages were
compared with reference maize forage as silage tested with Nellore
Brown sheep. Mean silage organic matter intake was 352, 297 and
137g!d in maize, sorghum and pearl millet silage, respectively Current
pearl millet forage cultivars...

Rice straw from sixteen cultivars were analyzed for crude protein
(CP), neutral (NDF) and acid (ADF) detergent fiber, acid detergent
lignin (ADL), Silica, in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD) and
metabolizable energy (ME) at the time of harvest and after three
months of storage under she...

Pearl millet is a source of both food grains for humans and dry fodder for their ruminant
livestock in the semi-arid and arid tropics of Asia and Africa. Recently, pearl millet has occupied
large areas during summer season in India and is also in great demand in central
Asian countries for cultiv...

Mixed crop livestock systems provide the majority of the cereal and livestock domestic products for households in developing countries. We explore the question of whether such systems can respond to increasing demands for livestock products without compromising future livelihoods of the poor or t...

Genetic control of the lignification process through use of brown mid-rib (bmr) mutations has offered the most direct and productive approach to reducing lignin concentration and increasing digestibility of sorghums. Brown midrib genes were introgressed from IS 21888 (bmr-3) and IS 21891(bmr-8) i...
