Comparative analysis of the biomass yield and nutrient content of corn varieties grown in rice fields during the dry season for ruminant feed.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Cultivating corn plants in rice fields during the dry season is an alternative worth considering for providing ruminant feed. However, there is no information on the nutrient content and biomass productivity of corn plants cultivated in rice fields during the dry season. Aim: This study aimed to assess the biomass yield and nutrient content of corn plants cultivated in rice fields during the dry season as a potential feed for ruminant livestock. Methods: The research was conducted in Sidenreng Rappang Regency, South Sulawesi Province, and involved two corn varieties: P1-Lamuru (local composite variety) and P2-Pioneer P32 (hybrid variety), each evaluated with five replications. Results: The results indicated that Pioneer P32 corn stalks and whole plants had higher dry matter (DM) content, whereas Lamuru corn stalks exhibited higher ether extract content. However, other nutrient components across plant parts and varieties showed no significant differences. The yield of crude fiber was higher in Lamuru corn leaves, but the yields of other nutrients across plant parts were generally similar. The contributions of stalks, leaves, and cobs to the overall biomass and nutrient yield did not significantly differ between the two varieties. The varieties were comparable in carrying capacity, average daily gain (ADG) potential, and milk yield estimates based on DM and crude protein. Conclusion: Although Pioneer P32 demonstrated superior DM content, the overall nutrient profiles and biomass yields of both varieties were similar, with no significant differences in carrying capacity, ADG potential, or milk yield. Therefore, further multiseason and multilocation studies are recommended to validate these findings under different environmental conditions.
