Feeding Value of Brown-Midrib Corn Silage for Lactating Dairy Cows
… was conducted to evaluate the feeding value of brown-midrib (bm<sub>3</sub>) corn silage and its normal (N) genetic counterpart using ten Holstein cows per group averaging 6 wk post-partum at the start of the experiment. The cow were fed corn silage (bm<sub>3 </sub>or N) ad libitum, 2.25 kg …

Intake and Digestibility of Brown-Midrib Corn Silage by Lactating Dairy Cows
<p>Two short-term trials evaluated brown-midrib-3 (bm<sub>3</sub>) mutant (low lignin) corn silage for early lactation Holstein cows. In trial 1, five cows per group were individually fed a ration of silage and grain (60:40 ratio, dry matter basis) from week 2 through 8 of lactation. Lignin …

Genetic, agronomic and compositional characterization of brown midrib sweet sorghum lignocellulosic biomass for ethanol production
… 7% of the variation in SSC measurements. ^ The brown midrib mutation in this population was previously identified in the caffeic acid-<em>O</em>-methyltransferase (<em>COMT</em>) gene resulting in reduced lignin content. A useful InDel marker for the mutant allele of <em>COMT</em> was identified …

Structure and Utilization of Cell Walls of Normal and Brown Midrib Mutant Sorghum X Sudangrass Hybrids
In the initial phase of this research, the feasibility of utilizing high resolution gas chromatographic technology to separate and quantify underivatized phenolic monomers was studied. Underivatized phenolic monomers commonly isolated from plant cell walls were separated and quantified on a …

The Nutritive Value of Normal and Brown Midrib Sorghum X Sudangrass Genotypes: Ruminal Characteristics and Site and Extent of Nutrient and Phenolic Compound Digestion by Sheep and Holstein Steers and Heifers
… composition on extent of fiber degradation of brown midrib and normal genotypes of sorghum x sudangrass hybrids, and to determine differences in concentrations of lignin phenolics, liquid and particulate turnover rates in the rumen, and digestion of cell wall polysaccharides between normal and …

Whole-plant corn silage and foliar fungicide: Strategies to improve dairy feed quality and profitability
… design balanced to measure carryover effects: brown midrib (BMR) or floury (FLY) WPCS with foliar fungicide application (FUN) or without foliar fungicide application (CON). Foliar fungicide application (pyraclostrobin + metconazole; Headline AMP, BASF, Florham Park, NJ) occurred at vegetative …

Food safety through fungal disease and mycotoxin mitigation on dairy farms: From field to feed and the rumen
… split-plot block design. Treatments were: brown midrib corn (BMR) or floury corn (FLY) without FUN (CON), BMR with FUN (pyraclostrobin and metconazole; Headline AMP, BASF, Florham Park, NJ), and FLY with FUN. Samples of whole corn plants were collected and separated into leaves, stalks, …

Genetic Environmental Effects on Silage Productivity of Corn (Zea mays L.)
… factors for corn production in Hawaii. Brown midrib-3 mutant corn, low in lignin content and high in digestibility, was compared to normal counterpart corn to determine yield response and their components. Significant grain and stover yield reductions were observed bm3, with average …
