Abstract

The sorghum crop plays a great importance in the production system of the Brazilian cattle industry, because it has resistance to drought, rapid growth and issuance of tillers. It is a crop with high photosynthetic rates and rapid stem elongation, and is used for making silage and rotational grazing. This culture has a high capacity to produce forage for use in periods of low production or grazing of native pastures. Sorghum silage has a high quality capable of meeting the nutritional needs of animals.
