Cultivar-Dependent Differences in Agronomic Characteristics, Nutritional Value, Fermentation Quality, and Bacteriome Profile of Whole-Plant Sorghum Silage

Abstract

Forage scarcity in semi-arid regions necessitates the identification of optimal sorghum cultivars for high-quality silage production. This study systematically evaluated varietal differences in agronomic characteristics, nutritive value, fermentation quality, and bacterial community structure of whole-plant sorghum silage. A completely randomized design was implemented with four sorghum cultivars representative of semi-arid northwestern China: …
