Onions Feed Safe for Sheep Say ARS Researchers
ARS scientists in Las Cruces report onions can be fed safely to sheep within a balanced diet. In a six week test, chopped onions replaced sorghum with minimal weight difference and only temporary red cell changes, normalizing after reverting to standard feed. This could aid farmers with unmarketable onions in major producing states.
