Grain Sorghum: A Conundrum for Chicken-Meat Production
The inclusion of grain sorghum in diets for broiler chickens is quite common; however, under Australian conditions, the utilisation of starch/energy by birds offered sorghum-based diets appears inadequate. Various factors inherent in sorghum, including kafirin, phenolic compounds and phytate, may limit energy utilisation. The recent quantification of kafirin, the dominant protein fraction in so...
متن کاملEvaluation of Waxy Grain Sorghum for Ethanol Production
Cereal Chern. 88(6):589-595 The objective of this research was to investigate the fermentation performance of waxy grain sorghum for ethanol production. Twenty-five waxy grain sorghum varieties were evaluated with a laboratory dry-grind procedure. Total starch and amylose contents were measured following colorimetric procedures. Total starch and amylose contents ranged from 65.4 to 76.3% and fr...
متن کاملAnalysis of grain yield stability and assessment of genotype × environment interaction for grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) genotypes
The interaction of genotype × environment creates complications in yield prediction and is a challenge for agronomy and plant breeding programs. To evaluate grain yield stability and genotype × environment interaction for 18 local and exotic grain sorghum cultivars, lines, and hybrids, a field experiment was conducted using randomized complete block design with three replications in four region...
متن کاملReconstitution of Grain Sorghum for Ruminants
The mechanisms by which reconstitution increases rumen degradation of grain sorghum and relevant studies that have measured effects of reconstitution on growth performance by finishing cattle were reviewed. The growth performance data summarized indicate that reconstitution of sorghum improved feed efficiency by 15% when compared to dry-rolled sorghum with a 7.6% increase in rate of gain. Indiv...
متن کاملGenetic engineering of grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L
PhD thesis Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench), the fifth most important cereal crop in the world, is one of the most important staple crops in Africa and South Asia and represents the only viable food grain for many of the world’s most food insecure people. However, sorghum grain shares the typical nutritional deficiencies of cereal grains, a low content of several essential amino acids. There...
