Bromatological composition of sorghum, millet plant and midget-guandu at different cut times in intercropping and monoculture

Abstract: 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, mille… Show more

“…Additionally, we found higher NDF content than Rosser et al (2013), even using plants before head elongation phase. Crude protein concentration averaged 152 g/kg, similarly to Rosser et al (2013) (186 g/kg at head elongation phase) and Tiritan et al, (2013) (146 g/kg; 30 days after sowing).…”

“…For the neutral detergent fiber content, the author reported the opposite results, with 50.87% in the first cut and 56.83% in the second cut, due to the low rainfall indices ( Figure 1) after the first cut. According to Tiritan et al (2013), in situations of water deficit, the plant increases the proportion of fiber carbohydrates and consequently decreases the cytoplasmic components of the cells, also due to the decrease in the leaf/stem ratio (Table 3).…”
