Claim 3:
4. A transgenic feedstuff produced by the process of claim 1, comprising harvested vegetative plant parts from a transgenic Sorghum species plant or a transgenic Zea mays plant, the vegetative plant parts being transgenic for at least (a) a first exogenous polynucleotide which encodes a plant Wrinkled 1 (WRI1) polypeptide operably linked to a heterologous promoter which is effective to direct expression of the first exogenous polynucleotide in the Sorghum species or Zea mays vegetative plant parts and increase the level of the WRI1 polypeptide relative to a corresponding wild type vegetative plant part, and (b) a second exogenous polynucleotide which encodes a plant diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) polypeptide operably linked to a heterologous promoter which is effective to direct expression of the second exogenous polynucleotide in the Sorghum species or Zea mays vegetative plant parts and increase the level of the DGAT polypeptide relative to a corresponding wild type vegetative plant part, whereby the vegetative plant parts comprise a total fatty acid (TFA) content which comprises fatty acids esterified in the form of triacylglycerols (TAG) and fatty acids in the form of lipids other than TAG, wherein the vegetative plant parts comprise a TFA content of between 6% and 20% (w/w dry weight) and a TAG/TFA Quotient (TTQ) of between 0.60 and 0.84, or between 0.84 and 0.95, wherein (i) the harvested plant parts are mixed with at least one other feed ingredient, (ii) the harvested plant parts are baled after harvest, (iii) the harvested plant parts are processed by chopping, cutting, drying, pressing or pelleting the plant parts, or (iv) the harvested plant parts are stored under conditions of reduced oxygen for a period of time until at least some carbohydrates in the plant parts are fermented to organic acids, and wherein said feedstuff and said harvested vegetative plant parts comprise said transgenic first exogenous polynucleotide and said transgenic second exogenous polynucleotide.
