Optimizing Fermentation and Nutrient Characteristics of Whole Plant Brown Midrib Sorghum Silage through Indigofera and Molasses Combinations

The purpose of this study is to assess the silage properties and traits of whole-plant mutant lines of Brown Midrib (BMR) sorghum in a mixture of sugarcane molasses and Indigofera.The investigation employs a factorial design with a completely randomized pattern.Factor A: Indigofera levels (A1 50%, A2 60%, A3 70%); Factor B: Molasses levels (0, 3, and 5%) with five replications.There was no relationship between the amount of Indigofera and molasses and the physical properties of the silage, pH value, fleig point, VFA, and contents of water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC), dry matter (DM), crude fat (CF), crude protein (CP), TDN, nitrogen-free extract (NFE), and ash (P>0.05).However, the amounts of Indigofera and molasses interacted (P
