This book opens with an investigation on the effects of natural
fermentation and drying methods on physicochemical properties of
proso millet flour. Fermented proso millet flour is either oven
dried or dried at room temperature, and its chemical content and
characterization are ascertained using standard methods. Following
this, the authors evaluate the forage production and chemical
composition of two pearl millet cultivars fertilized with four
doses of nitrogen with three cutting heights. Results are presented
which indicate that ammonium sulfonitrate treated with
nitrification inhibitor revealed possible toxic effects at lower
doses and is recommended only when high nitrogen doses are used.
One chapter is dedicated to Count Samuel TELEKI de Szek
(1845-1916), a Hungarian explorer who was the first European to see
and name Telekis Volcano (1888), Lake Rudolf (1888) (syn.: Lake
Turkana; renamed in 1975) in Kenya; and Lake Stefanie (1888; named
after Princess Stephanie of Belgium; now called Lake Chew Bahir) in
Ethiopia. S. Teleki was among the first in the World to attempt to
climb the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. In closing, the authors
concluded that the use of pearl millet as forage is increasing in
the Brazilian Cerrado due to its adaptability to harsh conditions
and high protein and digestibility levels. There are very few
studies evaluating the animal performance in Brazil, especially
related to silage use. Thus, there is a necessity for more research
involving animal performance in order to recommend or discourage
its use, especially as silage for dairy cows.
