Chemical composition and ensiling characteristics of normal and brown midrib pearl millet harvested at two stages of development in southwestern Québec
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The interest in annual forages in eastern Canada has increased in recent years. This study was conducted to determine the effects of cultivar and stage of development at harvest on ensiling characteristics, chemical composition, in vitro digestibilities, microbial population, and aerobic stability of forage pearl millet. Regular (RM) and brown midrib (BM) millet were harvested at vegetative (VS) or heading (HS) stage, then ensiled in laboratory silos for 0, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 45 d. Regular millet yielded twice as much as BM. Forage dry matter (DM) yield was also greater when pearl millet was harvested at VS than HS. Both millet cultivars were well ensiled and had a pH less than 4.2 after 45 d of ensiling. Compared with millet harvested at VS, millet harvested at HS contained 45% more water soluble carbohydrates at ensiling time and had a lower pH after 45 d of ensiling. Most proteolysis occurred between day 0 and day 8 post-ensiling, when 40 to 50% of true protein was lost to non-protein N for the two mille...

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
