Observational analysis improved growth performance and rumen fermentation in Hu sheep, indicating sorghum-sudangrass silage's potential benefits.

Replacing corn silage with sorghum-sudangrass silage improved growth performance in Hu sheep.
The T1 diet (50% corn silage, 50% sorghum-sudangrass) enhanced rumen fermentation and microbial diversity.
Microbiome analysis revealed increased beneficial bacteria, notably Sphingomonas, in the T1 group.
Metabolomic results indicated improved purine metabolism with both diets containing sorghum-sudangrass silage.

Li et al. (2025) studied this question.
