The dietary treatments included: sorghum-based diets with 0, 15, 30, or 45% SDDGS, a sorghum-based diet with 30% corn DDGS (C-DDGS) and a corn-based diet with 30% C-DDGS.

Abstract:

Grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is one of the most important food and animal feed crops in arid and semi-arid regions of the world. Sorghum grain is rich in starch and contains many functional health-promoting compounds including B-group vitamins, vitamin E and a broad range of phenolics. There is increasing interest internationally to extend the commercial use of sorghum grain as an affordable but nutritious source of animal feed and as a functional food. The utilisation of energy by broiler chickens offered sorghum-based diets seems inadequate due to various factors such as kafirin, phytate

[Abstract]: The development and commercial release of midge resistant grain sorghum hybrids in Australia has been one of the real success stories of the sorghum industry. Almost all the current commercial sorghum hybrids grown contain a significant baseline of midge resistance that has greatly reduced that pest status of this insect. However while breeding efforts have been successful, it seems only one mechanism of resistance remains present in commercial hybrids. This mechanism of resistance known as ‘ovipositional-antixenosis’ is polygenic in nature and has contributed to the gradual reduct

Abstract:

In sorghum, a single recessive gene Wx conditions waxy endosperm type. While parental inbred lines and hybrids with waxy endosperm have been developed, there has been little to no adoption of these hybrids by producers, primarily because waxy hybrids consistently yield 5-10% less than non-waxy hybrids and end-use buyers will not pay for the utilization benefits. While current waxy germplasm does not yield competitively at this time, there is a question as to whether the yield reduction is due to a negative relationship between waxy per se or due to the lack of effort to develop high yielding

Abstract:

Nine varieties of silage sorghum and one pearl millet variety were tested at the Maricopa Agricultural Center in Maricopa, AZ. Information on silage sorghum yield and quality can be of use to the dairy industry and help growers choose the best varieties based on their needs. We found no significant differences among the varieties for ash, ADF, and NDF. We did find significant differences in yield with Silo 700 BMR having the highest yield with 31.62 tons/acre and GS125 having the lowest with 20.53 tons/acre. We also saw significant differences in crude protein with ExpGD having the highest (3.

Abstract:

Whole-grain, high-fiber, or decorticated extrudates of excellent properties were made from white (nonwaxy, heterowaxy, waxy) sorghums or brown tannin-sorghums. Intact grains or prepared raw materials (cracked, cracked and sifted, decorticated) were extruded in a high-temperature, short-time (HTST) extruder. Waxy extrudates expanded less and were softer than those from nonwaxy or heterowaxy sorghums. Waxy extrudates had bigger air cells and thicker cell walls. Low moisture used in this type of extrusion and its interaction with the different amylose contents were the causes of the differences.

Abstract:

Sorghum grain mold and anthracnose are two major diseases of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) that constrain sorghum production worldwide. Grain mold is caused by several species of fungi, but the two most common are Curvularia lunata and Fusarium thapsinum. Isolates of these two species were used to inoculate panicles of selected sorghum cultivars in green house and field experimentations. Panicles were sprayed at the time of anthesis with conidial suspensions of the two fungal species individually or in a mixture and with water to serve as a control. Samples were collected 48 hours after inoculatio

Abstract:

Grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] varieties fail to reach maturity in North Dakota’s short and cool growing season. The study objective was to evaluate seeding date and white grain sorghum genotypes. A randomized complete block design study was conducted at Carrington, Oakes, and Prosper, ND, in 2018 and 2019. Genotypes included two commercial hybrids and four open-pollinated genotypes. Reaching heading and anthesis, hybrids required more heat units (GDDs), compared with the open-pollinated genotypes. Highest grain yield was obtained from the first and second seeding dates. Earlier-m

Abstract:

The introduction of hybrid seed in developing countries may be in conflict with the tradition of saving seed for the next planting. This study evaluates 15 sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) hybrids and their three successive generations in three environments. Under optimum conditions for all 15 genotypes segregating generations yielded as well as the F1 generation. Under moisture stress and late planting, the F2 generation showed inbreeding depression for yield and kernels per panicle. Height, panicle length and test weight were reduced and flowering was hastened for all segregating genera

Sorghum response ranged from susceptible to tolerant. Mesotrione dose-response studies on four sorghum hybrids revealed that injury symptoms were greatest in Pioneer 85G01 and least in Asgrow Seneca.
