Effect of sorghum varieties and molasses addition on prussic acid content and of silage quality

Abstract: The study was conducted to determine the effect of sorghum varieties and molasses addition in silage making on the physical quality, pH, dry matter, organic matter (OM), Fleigh score, and prussic acid content. The study was designed using Completely Randomized Design in the factorial pattern. The first factor was sorghum varieties (super and BMR), and the second factor was the level of molasses (0% and 4% molasses). The pH of silage with molasses (4.45±0.28) was significantly lower (P<0,05) than silage with… Show more

“…The inclusion level of molasses might have influenced the colour of the silage. According to Handriati et al [ 26 ], adding molasses might have changed the colour of the silage. The blackish-brown colour of molasses can cause the discolouration of the cassava leaf silage, resulting in a deviation from the normal greenish colour.…”

“…It is found in stressed plants formed by enzymatic reactions due to unsuitable environmental conditions such as drought. Prussic acid in sorghum is classified as high; in sorghum BMR and super-2 were 307.03 and 283.59 ppm, respectively [5]. The content of prussic acid in sorghum should not exceed 200 ppm in fresh conditions.…”

“…The most effective treatment is anaerobic fermentation. The addition of 4% molasses to the silage BMR and super-2 can reduce the levels of prussic acid up to 70 to 80% [5].…”

“…Sorghum forages are usually processed into silage to remove the prussic acid content. During silage making (ensilage), the prussic acid content in sorghum forage can be reduced by more than 70% [ 8 ]. A total mixed ration (TMR) is used for feeding cows that combines feeds formulated for a specific nutrient content into a single feed mix.…”
