Abstract
Results are given from 7 trials in which maize and sorghum silages were compared for milk production. In one trial milk production was significantly higher from cows fed silage of forage sorghum cv. Leafmaster 43 plus lucerne/urea pellets than from those fed maize silage. In a further trial, milk production was significantly higher from cows fed sorghum Leafmaster 43 silage than from those fed forage sorghum Funks G-102F which in turn gave higher yields than those fed grain sorghum Taylor-Evans Y-101 silage. In a comparison of 4 maize silages the contents of TDN and of digestible energy were highest in cv. Dixie 77 and ARK 6634D. In a 2nd trial with maize grown under soil moisture stress, TDN and digestible energy values were highest for AKS 22 silage. TDN content was higher in silage of ARK 6108 and ARK 6108D than in sorghum Leafmaster 43. Feeding urea at 15 lb/ton with silage of sorghum cv. Atlas significantly increased CP digestibility and N retention by steers and significantly decreased energy digestibility
