Reconstituted Sorghum Grain for Lactating Dairy Cows ~ L. J. BUSH, D, T. NETEMEYER, and G. D. ADAMS Department of Animal Science Oklahoma State University Stillwater 74074 ABSTRACT Rations containing finely ground air- dry and reconstituted (70% dry matter) sorghum grain were compared in a switchback trial with 21 lactating dairy cows. Short Communication. Table 1. Dairy farmers can increase milk production in their cows by over 46 per cent by feeding them on fodder sorghum as compared to Napier grass which is famous among many farmers growing it to feed their livestock. Brown Midrib Sorghum Sudangrass, Part I Successfully Growing a High Energy Grass for Dairy Cows Agronomy Fact Sheet Series Department of Crop and Soil Sciences 1 College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Brown Midrib Sorghum Sudangrass (BMR SxS) is a low lignin, highly digestible, warm-season, annual grass. More than likely, the reduced energy value of sorghum silage is due to seed passing through the digestive system undigested. Mitzner KC(1), Owen FG, Grant RJ. L.) sit. Thus, this study aimed at evaluating the nutrients intake, milk yield and composition and live weight change of dairy cows fed with sorghum silage alone Dairy cows feeding with sorghum silage supplemented with concentrate . farms due to their potential to accumulate DM rapidly in warm conditions.

Alimentação de vacas leiteiras com silagem de sorgo suplementada com concentrado . 6, 2020. Two trials were conducted to compare the effects of corn and sorghum grains on performance of early and midlactation Holstein dairy cows. The 3030 Project has a focus on increasing production and utilisation of home-grown feed, so Heifer diets could utilize this forage harvested at about 60 days (50 inches tall). NEOSHO ��� Alfalfa, for generations of dairy farmers, has been seen as the primary feed for productive dairy cows. Recently, however, following some challenges with winterkilled alfalfa, some farmers have been looking at alternative forages that provide the crude protein, neutral detergent fiber and total digestible nutrients needed by their herds. The BMR hybrid provided a longer window of acceptable forage for dairy cows. Based on these parameters, the ���Normal��� sorghum-sudangrass provided acceptable forage for lactating cow diets when harvested between 40 to 60 days after planting (30 to 50 inches tall). The net energy for lactation (NEL) of steam-flaked corn or sorghum grain is about 20% greater than the NEL for dry-rolled corn or sorghum. Grain sorghum or milo can be readily substituted for corn in cattle rations, says Warren Rusche, South Dakota State University Extension cow-calf field specialist. no research has compared BMR sorghum si lage witJ1 . In dairy heifers, even though the feed efficiency of sorghum was lower than that of maize ( Hamman et al., 2001 ), a diet with 30% sorghum concentrate was significantly cheaper than with maize ( Reddy et al., 1995 ).

Abstract. Concentrates, grain and/or protein supplements (Table 1) are required if dairy replacement heifers are to achieve adequate growth. In that experiment, maize also caused higher milk fat concentrations - see Barley versus maize as supplements for grazing dairy cows.) Hybrids of Sorghum and Sudan grass are often used in Ontario. Some forage cropping (sorghum, forage legumes) may be used both for grazing and as conserved feed for winter, but generally the quality of pasture, forage and hay used is low. This article, originating from the University of Florida, reviews whole-plant sorghum silage production and utilization by dairy cows. A comparison of milk quality and liveweight for cows fed barley and sorghum grain-based supplements while grazing ryegrass and prairie grass pastures at Wollongbar In brief. So, sorghum When sweet Sorghum silage based TMR was compared with alfalfa silage based TMR for lactating dairy cows, sweet Sorghum silage decreased milk yield, which the authors attributed to the increased NDF content of the TMR.

However. ���Graduate student literature review: Current perspectives on whole-plant sorghum silage production and utilization by lactating dairy cows.��� Journal of Dairy Science Vol. ZOOTECNIA .

However, it could be assumed that the relationships found in lactating dairy cattle concerning the feeding of sorghum grain would apply to dry dairy cows. Three groups of cows received a ration of cottonseed meal and hulls; one group received sorghum silage in addition, and another pasture. They are warm season grasses, unlike most of our forage species which are cool season grasses.

Butter fat from the first two groups was low in vitamin A, that from the silage group being on the whole superior. 1. forages for lactation diets in the mid Millet and sorghum. Sorghum silage is a viable forage alternative for dairy farms in areas with reduced rainfall because sorghum is tolerant to low soil moisture conditions (Peacock, 1982; Jahanzad et al., 2013) while still producing adequate DM tonnage per hectare (Blum et al., 1989).However, the lignin content in late vegetative and early head stages of conventional sorghum ��� Grazing Brown Midrib Sorghum for Dairy Cows Bracken County, Kentucky David Appelman, County ANR Extension Agent This was in a grazing trial with corn on a dairy farm.

Some experiments conducted on lactating cows have proven that the total replacement of corn silage with sorghum silage did not reduce milk yield. Sorghum-Sudan grass hybrids offer a solution to producing forage dry matter when an emergency occurs. sorghum grain to dry dairy cows were not found. Ten cows were restricted to rations of Atlas sorgo stover, Atlas sorgo silage, a grain mixture and salt for periods varying from 134 days to nearly two lactation periods, and lactation and reproduction data were compared with pre-experimental data under normal feeding conditions. THE USE OF SORGHUM, OAT, WHEAT, TRITICALE, AND PEARL MILLET SILAGES IN LACTATING DAIRY COW DIETS A Dissertation in Animal Science by Michael Thomas Harper 2018 Michael Thomas Harper Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the ��� Sorghum silage is often promoted as a replacement for maize silage for lactating and dry dairy cows, as evidenced by the amount of research devoted to this. In the last years, difficulties occurring in corn cultivation (i.e., groundwater shortages, mycotoxin contamination) have been forcing dairy farmers to consider alternative silages. Popped sorghum might be the next big thing to improve productivity on dairy farms and feedlots. Dairy cows grazing Chloris gayana and supplemented with sorghum grain gave less milk protein during summer (Moss et al., 2000). It can also be used for dairy and swine. Feeding sorghum grain as a replacement for corn in dry cow ��� is comparable with com silage for milk production. Sorghum Silage is used extensively in dairy forage programs, but compared to corn silage, dairy cows utilize only about 80 percent as much of the available energy in sorghum silage. The 1990 Annual KSU Dairy Day is known as Dairy Day, 1990Holstein cows in early lactation were utilized to evaluate the effects of supplementing concentrate diets of sorghum grain on milk production, milk composition, somatic cell count, and body condition. It's something that's being worked on at the University of Queensland's Gatton Campus. White sorghum variety: Photo courtecy. 1994 Apr;77(4):1044-51.
