Abstract

The article investigates the silage quality of various Brachiaria brizantha cultivars stored with different levels of millet meal. Results of the study indicate that the addition of millet meal improved the quality of B. brizantha silage with 15% additive providing the best nutritional values. The study also showed that piata silage had the lowest content of neutral detergent powder compared to xaraes and marandu grasses.
