Abstract
Atlas and Rox sorghum varieties were each harvested at the milk, medium-dough, and hard-dough stages. Digestibilities were determined by the Cr.O~, grab-sample technique, using Holstein heifers. The apparent digestibility of Atlas sorghum silage dry matter was depressed from 55 to 46% by advancing maturity from the milk to the hard-seed stages. Energy and protein digestibility also were decreased. Digestibility of Rox silage was not appreciably affected by maturity. Results suggest that frosting may improve digestibility of Atlas. Grinding had little effect.
