Dissertação (Mestrado em Ciências Agrárias - Veterinaria) - Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, 2012.http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/tede/handle/tde/866The Brazilian farmers make use of vary forages plants to be conserved in the ensilage form, for supplementation of the animals in the period of fall of pastures. However, forage millet presents as a possible alternative, in view of its potential of production and possibility of culture as off-season cultivation. The objective of this work was to evaluate the production and the morph-anatomical composition of millet compared to some forages, to characterize the fermentative standard of the produced ensilages, as well as, estimate the cost of production and the potential of milk production in function of the dry substance of the produced ensilages. The experiment was divided in three phases: (1) Quantitative Analysis: anatomical composition, agronomics parameters, production of dry mass of the used forages plants for the silage process; (2) Qualitative Analysis: characterization of the fermentative process, through the opening of the experimental in different times (3, 7, 15, 30, 60 and 120 days) after the silage incubation, proceeding itself the effluent evaluations of loss of and gases beyond the determination and chemical composition and fraction of protein of the ensilages; (3) Economic Analysis: survey of the costs of production of the ensilage of millet in relation to other traditional forages cultures. Millet presented the greater stand with 237,000 plants/ha and the maize without spike with the minor stand a 58,300 plants/ha. Already the production of green mass (GM) of sorghum was raised with 60,400 kg GM/ha, followed for the integral maize with 50,200 kg/ha. The production of dry mass (DM) of the integral maize was of 20,000 kg DM/ha and, of millet, was of 9,700 kg DM/ha. About protein fraction, they not had differences (P<0.05) for the fraction A in the ensilage of millet in the different times of opening of the silos. In the economic analysis, the maize presented a cost of lesser production in function of its bigger income for area. Although millet to present potential of similar production to the maize, the production accomplishes was lesser, what comparatively it would make impracticable its use. So that this either made possible economically is necessary that the raised production either more.application/pdfAcesso Abertocusto produçãofracionamento de proteínamilho integral e milho sem espigaproduction costprotein fractionsintegral maize and maize without spikeCNPQ::CIENCIAS AGRARIAS::ZOOTECNIA::PRODUCAO ANIMALDissertação
