Abstract

The Brazilian cattle linked to the operation of various types of grassland. The Brazilian cattle herd is dependent, in order, increasing the need for maximizing production of fodder, since such large are the basis of their food. Once the millet is an alternative for the dry season, because of its great hardiness and adaptability. It is a culture that can be directly grazed by the animals supplying all the nutritional need because it has high nutritional value. Silage millet has good nutritional composition, making it a good alternative to be preserved in order to be served to the animals during the dry season, when the forage production is low. The grains can replace partially or total as much corn as sorghum in diets for all types of animals, because they have high nutritional value.
