“…Silage materials are often wilted to above 30% DM content before ensiling to reduce the chance of clostridial fermentation (Zheng et al, 2018). The increase in DM content after wilting was similar as reported by Oliveira et al (2018), Agarussi et al (2019) and Liu et al (2020) in studies on elephant grass, alfalfa and wholeplant oats, respectively. The moisture of raw material was decreased after wilting treatments and at the same time soluble carbohydrate content was relatively improved ( Jian et al, 2015).…”

“…Differences in in vitro degradability characteristics are influenced by ADF and NFC content ( Jayanegara et al, 2009;Wahyono et al, 2019). The volume of in vitro cumulative gases depends on the content of fibrous fractions and soluble carbohydrates, as well as on their total degradability (Oliveira et al, 2018). It is interesting to note that the IVOMD value of sorghum silages tends to be lower than non-silaged sorghum.…”

Our objective was to investigate the effect of different variety and wilting treatment on silage quality and in vitro degradability of whole-plant sorghum. Three sorghum varieties (Numbu, Super 1 and Samurai 1) were ensiled either fresh or wilted and evaluated in a 2 x 3 factorial arrangement. Based on sensory evaluation, colour, smell and sensory index increased after wilting treatment (P < 0.01). Based on chemical quality, pH and NH 3 -N values were lower in wilted groups than in unwilting sorghum silage (P < 0.01). Compared with non-wilted materials, higher dry-matter (DM) and organic-matter (OM) content were found in wilted materials (P < 0.01). Wilting did not affect crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF), hemicellulose, cellulose, or non-fibre carbohydrate (NFC) content. Samurai 1 sorghum silage had the lowest NDF and ADF, both in non-wilted and wilted materials (P < 0.05). The interaction of wilting and different variety had a significant impact on NDF (P < 0.05), ADF, OM, and CP (P < 0.01). Wilting treatment had no significant impact on all aspects of in vitro degradability. In contrast, variety difference had a significant impact on in vitro degradability (P < 0.01). Results of the current study indicate that wilting treatment influences the sensory score and chemical quality of sorghum silage. There was no effect on nutrient composition or in vitro digestibility. The effect of different variety on the nutrient value of sorghum silage was more pronounced than the wilting variable.

“…there was a higher salt absorption by plants, leading to an OM decrease to the detriment of MM increase. However, this increase in MM can also be an indication of the occurrence of a poor-quality fermentation, with a higher organic matter mobilization, thus showing an increase in ash content, which would result in the decrease of organic matter (Oliveira et al 2018) with increased leaching fraction.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional and fermentative potential of silage of the forage sorghum Ponta Negra irrigated with saline water. The bromatological characteristics, losses and fermentative profile of sorghum silages were observed. For the bromatological characteristics of the sorghum plant, a decreasing linear behavior was observed for the contents of dry matter and organic matter while a positive linear effect was verified for crude protein and mineral matter as the leaching fractions were increased (P < 0.05). A quadratic behavior was observed for nonfibrous carbohydrates, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, and cellulose (P < 0.05). The pH values showed a quadratic effect (P < 0.05) with lower pH values observed at 15 days of silo opening for water depths of 10 and 15%. Regarding the silages, the leaching fractions provided differences (P < 0.05) for dry matter recovery, gas loss and effluent loss. A negative linear behavior for the contents of dry matter and organic matter and an increasing linear effect for mineral matter (P < 0.05). The highest concentrations of ammoniacal nitrogen were observed when irrigation was performed with a 10% saline water depth (P < 0.05).

“…In general, the final volume of gas and the average digestion time, as well as the rate of degradation and latency, will depend on the bromatological composition of the food evaluated, especially the amounts of fibrous and nonfibrous fractions (OLIVEIRA et al, 2018).…”

The objective of this work was to evaluate the digestibility and kinetic parameters of silages of commercial and experimental sorghum genotypes grown in a crop in amazon biome to identify materials that present the best performance. The experiment was carried out in Sinop/MT with silages from 15 genotypes to evaluate gas production and in vitro digestibility and energy estimation, including BRS 658, BRS 659, Volumax, BRS Ponta Negra, 15F30005, 15F30006, BRS 511, CMSXS 5027, 5030, 5043, 5045, BRS 716, AGRI-002E, 201934B008 and CMSXS 7501. Gas production, pH, ammonia-N, and in vitro digestibility analyses were carried out, in addition to energy estimation using equations. The silages of materials with the highest gas production and digestibility were forage because they have a greater amount of digestible carbohydrates. On the other hand, the biomass and saccharine standard biomass presented lower performance because they have a higher concentration of lignin and structural carbohydrates in their composition. For pH and ammonium-N, there was no difference between treatments. The greatest digestibility and energy potential come from the genotypes BRS 658, BRS 659 Volumax, 15F30006, CMSXS 5027, and CMSXS 5030, making the last three capable of commercial launch and use in the production of silage in animal feed.
