Sorghum for Cows Findings From Kansas Experiment Station
Kansas experiment station scientist J G Haney reports on sorghum as cattle feed in The Breeder's Gazette. Sweet sorghum is high in starch but low in protein, requiring protein-rich supplements like bran or soybeans, with alfalfa improving results. Sorghum hay provides little digestible protein, while cane hay is digestible and cooling but laxative and needs protein-rich feed. Feeding sorghum seed reduces milk yield vs corn. mixing sorghum and corn shows no dramatic loss. Cane or sorghum hay is best before Feb 1 to avoid fermentation. Mixing sorghum with corn or other feeds adds variety for spring feeding.
