ABSTRACT

The need for high quality sorghum silage as an alternate crop to corn silage is reviewed. Genetic manipulation of grain-to-stover ratio, soluble carbohydrates, tannins, dry matter at harvest, and fiber modification of sorghum silage characteristics is related to animal nutrition. Characteristics of sorghum plants which result in the highest animal productivity per unit of land area are suggested.
