ABSTRACT Our aim was to assess the mineral composition of corn silages produced in four states of Brazil: Goiás, Minas Gerais, Paraná, and Santa Catarina. In total, seventy-three samples were analyzed. Total element content was extracted by HNO3 and H2O2 microwave-assisted digestion, and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used to determine concentration. Of the 31 elements analyzed (Ag, Al, As, B, Ba, Be, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb, […]

A study was conducted in five locations to evaluate the silage potential of eight maize cultivars estimated by the rumen degradable dry matter yield (kg/ha). A significant interaction of genotype × environment was found for this characteristic, indicating a differential behavior of the varieties when environmental conditions changed. Although the variety BR HT2X had a high dry matter yield, it was the one which contributed most to the genotype × environment interaction. Nevertheless, it presented unpredictable behavior, thus it is […]
