Abstract

A essay was carried out at Escola de Medicina Veterinária e Agronomia de Jaboticabal from October 1973 to March 1974 to study the digestibility of the silage of €œPearl Millet€ (Pennisetun americanum (L.) K. Schum.) with and without aditives. An experiment in randomized blocks with two replications was designed to study silage production with three aditives levels (0,20% of sugar cane and 6% of molasses). €œPearl Millet€ was harvested when its seeds were in milky stage. The results suggested that apparently there is not advantage on adding sugar cane or molasses to get better silages. The digestible nutrients and digestible protein were not affected when sugar cane or molasses were added.
