- Abstract
Total mixed rations (TMR) containing conventional forage sorghum (Pahat), brown mid rib (BMR) forage sorghum (G5), or green midrib (GMR) forage sorghum (G8) were fed to local lambs to determine the effect on digestibility, performance and ruminal fermentation. Fifteen ewe lambs (aged < 1 year) with average live weight of 15±0.50 kg were assigned to three diets in completely randomized design with 4-wk periods (21-d adaptation and 7-d sample collection). Total mixed rations consisted of 60% sorghum forage and 40% concentrate mix (dry basis). Results demonstrated that the difference in sorghum cultivars did not affect the digestibility, growth performance and ruminal fermentation of local lambs. Organic matter digestibility (OMD) ranged from 63.73 – 65.45%. Daily weight gain of lambs fed TMR based on Pahat tended to be higher than G5 and G8 (97.86 vs 89.29 and 75.00 g/h/d). Total mixed rations based on sorghum forage produced optimal ruminal fermentation for lambs growth. In conclusion, the difference in sorghum cultivars on total mixed rations formulation did not affect the performance of local lambs.
