| This study evaluated the nutritional characteristics of BMR mutant and normal sorghum genotypes, eleven BMR mutants and nine normal. Seeds were sown in a randomized block design with three blocks, in which each genotype was a treatment. The nutritional characteristics were analyzed at 42 days of regrowth after the first cut, determined for DM, EE, ash, CP, NDIN, NIDA, NDF, ADF, NFC, CT, HCEL, CEL and NGLs. Regarding DM, EE, ash, NDIN, NIDA, NDF, FDA and HCEL, there were no differences between genotypes. As for CP, there were differences, with mean levels ranging from 9.77% for BR001AXTX2785bmr to 16.45% for BR001AxTX2784. Considering CT and NFC, there were differences in the mean levels that ranged from 75.21 to 83.28% for BR007AxTX2785bmr and... |
