Palatability and efficiency of ground sorghum feed
Coarsely ground sorghum proved more palatable than finely ground grain. The coarsely ground feed required less input to gain 100 pounds of body weight, showing about 2 percent greater efficiency in conversion. Finely ground sorghum reduced palatability and resulted in smaller gains.
Sorghum Feed Mixtures Suggested for Swine Fattening
Quaife advises coarsely ground grain sorghum fed self with a protein supplement, at least half animal protein. For pigs from 680 to 125 pounds, mix 1600 pounds grain sorghum with 400 pounds of about 40 percent protein supplement. For 126 pounds to market weight, use 1800 pounds grain sorghum with 200 pounds supplement. Include 10 to 15 percent alfalfa in winter.
