Research Progress on the Application of Sweet Sorghum Silage in Ruminant Production
As a high-quality forage crop,sweet sorghum has the characteristics of high biological yield,salt and alkali tolerance,drought tolerance,and strong stress resistance.The sugar content in the stem is high and easy to ensilage,and the sweet sorghum silage has good feeding value with rich in nutrition and palatability.In recent years,its application in ruminant production has attracted more and more attention.In this paper,the nutritional components and the advantages of sweet sorghum as silage and its application in ruminant production are summarized,in order to provide theoretical reference for the further promotion and application of sweet sorghum silage in ruminant cattle and sheep production.
