Forage yield, chemical composition and digestibility of brown midrib sorghum x sudan forage in northern Mexico

Nuñez HG, Cantú BJE. Téc Pecu Méx. 2000, 38(3)177-187. The objective was to evaluate forage yield, chemical composition and in vitro digestibility of a brown midrib and a normal sorghum x sudán varieties (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench x Sorghum sudanense) and their relationships to climatic factors in northern Mexico. Two experiments were initiated on April 19 and 23 of 1995 and 1996, respectively, at La Laguna Experimental Station located at Matamoros, Coah., Mex. The varieties were Genex (brown midrib) and SX-16 (control variety). Both materials were harvested four times each year when plants were at the boot stage or beginning of heading . The brown midrib sorghum x sudán had less height and dry matter yield than the control variety in most harvests (P
