Starch and protein sources in elephantgrass-based diets for lactating dairy cows

, 2002
Ruminant performance may be improved due to association of specific energy and protein supplemental sources by matching nutrient degradation rates on diets. This work aimed to analyze the effects of corn grain processing, concentrate levels and protein sources on nutrient digestibilities, ruminal fermentation parameters, and performance of lactating ...

Pollen viability in elephantgrass, pearl millet and interspecific hybrids - DOI: 10.4025/actascibiolsci.v28i1.1052

, 2008
The aim of this work was to estimate the pollen viability in elephantgrass, pearl millet and interspecific hybrids accessions through in vitro germination and staining with propionic carmine, acetic orcein and Alexander’s stain. The germination tests were accomplished with fresh pollen grains and stored for 30 days.
