Abstract

The use of maize and sorghum residues for beef cattle forage is reviewed. DM yields of maize residues tended to be higher than those of sorghum but yields were affected by agronomic practices, management and weather. In vitro DDM was similar in maize and sorghum but CP content of sorghum was higher. Ca levels in maize residues were low and P content of both forages was below the minimum requirement of a dry pregnant beef cow
