Using breeding cows of Japanese black cattle, palatability trials were carried out to find the varietal differences of palatability among sorghum silages, and corn ("P 3352") silage as a control. Silage was made of ten varieties of sorghum; three grain-type ("F6-3A-5", "BR 48" and "GS 401"), one dual purpose-type ("Suzuho"), five sorgo-type ("FS 4", "Sugar graze", "Kazetach", "Hoki morokoshi", and "Tentaka") and one sudan grass ("HS 33"). They were divided into two groups. One, palatable group, consisted of "P3352", "F6-3A-5", "BR 48", "GS 401", "Suzuho", and "Sugar graze". The other, poor-palatable group, consisted of "FS 4", "Kazetachi", "Hoki morokosi", "Tentaka", "HS 33" and "Sugar graze". Six adult cows of Japanese black cattle were used as a panel. Palatability of each silage was evaluated according to the dry matter intake by six cows which were allowed to eat any of two varieties with all possible paris during a day.
