ABSTRACT
Twenty-eight sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) genotypes of the
different ecological and geographic origins: Kazakhstan, Russia, India, Uzbekistan, and China were tested in the
high latitude rainfed conditions of northern Kazakhstan. The genotypes demonstrated high biomass
production (up to 100 t·ha-1 and more). The genotypes ripening to full reproductive seeds were
selected for seed production and introduction in the northern Kazakhstan. Lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus plantarum S-1, Streptococcus
thermophilus F-1 and Lactococcus
lactis F-4 essentially enhance the fermentation process, suppressing
undesirable microbiological processes, reducing the loss of nutrient compounds,
accelerating in 2 times maturation ensilage process and providing higher quality of the feed product.
KEYWORDS
