Swine Farmers Rejoice: Grain Sorghum Emerges as Affordable, Nutritious Corn Alternative
Feeding grain sorghum to pigs can be a good alternative to using corn in their diets. The researchers looked at different types of grain sorghum, their nutrients, and how they performed in feeding trials. They also studied how to process low-quality sorghum and high-moisture sorghum. The findings showed that grain sorghum can be a viable option for pig feed, with tables comparing its nutritional value to other feed options. Experiments in Florida supported these results, showing that pigs can thrive on grain sorghum diets.
