Physico-chemical and Nutritional Composition of Ten Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) Grain Varieties as Potential Feed for Livestock
Sorghum grain (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is gaining importance amongst livestock producers and animal nutritionists. Newly developed sorghum varieties should be evaluated for their suitability in small ruminant ration. The aim of this research was to determine the physico-chemical characteristics of ten sorghum varieties as potential feed for small ruminants. There were no significant differences (P > 0.05) in DM, CP and CF contents of the ten sorghum varieties. The sorghum black had higher GE, NDF and ADF contents and ATxArg had higher oil and mineral contents. Similarly, sorghum varieties labelled black, red, R17049 and FZ2CND were characterized by high tannins, phenolic and redness contents. Marcia, R17231, RTx436 contained high levels of yellowness and lightness. Fatty acid profile also varies amongst the ten varieties. The results of this study demonstrated that physiochemical and nutritional properties of sorghum varied by varieties.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Agricultural Science publishes papers concerned with the advance of agriculture and the use of land resources throughout the world. It publishes original scientific work related to strategic and applied studies in all aspects of agricultural science and exploited species, as well as reviews of scientific topics of current agricultural relevance. Specific topics of interest include (but are not confined to): all aspects of crop and animal physiology, modelling of crop and animal systems, the scientific underpinning of agronomy and husbandry, animal welfare and behaviour, soil science, plant and animal product quality, plant and animal nutrition, engineering solutions, decision support systems, land use, environmental impacts of agriculture and forestry, impacts of climate change, rural biodiversity, experimental design and statistical analysis, and the application of new analytical and study methods (including genetic diversity and molecular biology approaches). The journal also publishes book reviews and letters. Occasional themed issues are published which have recently included centenary reviews, wheat papers and modelling animal systems.
