The effects of the maize brown-midrib genes bm3 and bm1 on feeding value and agronomic traits were investigated by animal studies and biochemical approaches. When sheep were fed bm3 silage, an increase in digestibility was observed, equal to 2.4 points for digestibility of organic matter (DOM), and 8.1 points for digestibility of crude fiber (DCF). Phenotypic variation was reduced for all observed traits of bm3 hybrids. This allowed the assumption that the bm3 gene acted by levelling to a similar value of almost 74% DOM, quite independently of the original value of the normal counterpart. The bm1 hybrids were intermediate between normal and bm3 ones for DOM, DCF and intake, but the dry matter yield was not reduced for bm1 hybrids. From expe...
