“…It was observed significant differences among the crops and their interaction with environment regarding yield and quality properties However, variations have been also observed in different agronomic and quality were also noted by Barutcular et al (2016a, b, c;Akdeniz et al, 2018b;Yıldırım et al,2018). The variability in NDF, ADF, cellulose and lignin concentrations of sorghum stover in different species has been reported earlier (Hamed et al, 2015) and it is reported that forage with high NDF levels had higher concentrations of the CB2 fraction, which is more slowly degraded in the rumen, impacting microbial synthesis and animal performance (Ribeiro et al, 2001). Carvalho et al (2007) reported that NDF concentration influences carbohydrate fraction CB2 and forages high in NDF concentration usually have higher values of CB2.…”

Determining nutritional quality of indigenous forage species constitutes prerequisite to improve the productivity of ruminants. This research was carried out at the research field of the Agricultural Research and Application Center of Igdır University, Turkey in consecutive two years (2015 & 2016) to evaluate the herbage yield and nutritive value of eight forage species having diverse genetic make-up. Eight forage species such as Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis var. Geromino), Perennial rye-grass (Lolium perenne var. Ovation), Red rescue (Festuca rubra rubra var. Corail), Slender creeping red fescue (Festuca rubra tricphylla var. Pinafore), Sheep fescue (Festuca ovina var. Ridu), Tall fescue (Festuca arundinaceae var. Jaguar 4G), Chewings fescue (Festuca comutata var. Longfellow II) and Colonial bentgras (Agrostis tenuis var. Aristata) were used as plant materials and the experiment was arranged in a randomized complete design with three replications. Data on biomass yield, crude ash, crude protein, crude oil, crude cellulose, net digestible fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), dry matter intake (DMI), digestible dry matter (DDM) and relative feed value (RFV) were recorded during the investigation. Results of the present study indicated that species 'Tall fescue' (Festuca arundinaceae var. Jaguar 4G) yielded the highest herbage yield, followed by cultivar 'Perennial rye-grass' (Lolium perenne var. Ovation). While, 'Kentucky bluegrass' (Poa pratensis var. Geromino) was found to be inferior to all other forage species in the studied years. When nutritional quality was observed, the species 'Colonial bentgrass' (Agrostis tenuis var. Aristata) had the maximum crude protein and RFV, while cultivar 'Perennial rye-grass' had significantly higher RFV, DMI, DMD and the minimum fiber content, which indicated its superior quality for milch animals.

“…Sorghum (Sorghum bicolour (L.) Moench) is an important crop in Sudan, and the country ranked eighth in the world in sorghum grain production (3.5 million tonnes) in 2014 (Hamed et al 2015). Jiménez et al (1993) studied the application of sorghum stalks in pulp and papermaking and determined they had better properties than other agricultural residues, such as olive tree fellings, wheat straw, sunflower stalks, vine shoots, and cotton plant stalks.…”

The suitability of specific Sudanese agrowastes, sorghum straw, bagasse, and their 50% blend, were investigated for pulp and papermaking initiatives. A chemical analysis of sorghum straw and bagasse revealed levels of cellulose, lignin, hemicellulose, and ash for sorghum straw and bagasse that signalled a suitable relation to traditional wood feedstocks for pulping and papermaking applications. Moreover, the pulp yield and viscosity of sorghum straw were lower and higher, respectively, compared with the bagasse and the blend. More specifically, the papers obtained from bagasse showed better physical properties (tensile strength, tearing index, bursting index, and folding) compared to those of sorghum straw and the blend. The surface morphologies of the papers were analysed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which showed that the fibres had a long, swollen, compact, and closely packed arrangement and were more homogeneous and well-blended for the bagasse compared with the pure sorghum straw and the 50% blend.
