The article titled "Productive performance of Creole lambs supplemented with energy-protein forages" presents a study on the feeding of Creole lambs in the Caribbean region of Colombia. During the study, the productive performance of the lambs that were supplemented with energy-protein forages was evaluated. Twelve Creole lambs were used and assigned two different diets. The results showed that the lambs that received diet D1, which consisted of corn silage and forage cassava silage, had a higher weight gain compared to those that received diet D2, which only consisted of corn silage. Additionally, no significant differences were found in the body condition of the animals. In conclusion, strategic supplementation with corn silage and forage cassava improves the productive performance of Creole lambs. [Extracted from the article]

The article titled "Effect of the application of organic fertilizers on the yield and quality of silage from the maize variety (zea mays) Agrosavia V-117" presents a study conducted by the Colombian Corporation for Agricultural Research - Agrosavia and the University of Córdoba in Colombia. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of the application of organic fertilizers on the yield and quality of maize silage from the Agrosavia V-117 variety. Four different treatments were carried out and parameters such as plant height and green forage yield were evaluated. The results showed that the combination of chemical and organic sources of fertilizers is a viable option for producers, as it allows for acceptable forage yields at a lower cost.
