Sorghum is grown worldwide as a grain or forage source. Flaking is a processing method used to improve nutrient digestibility.

Sorghum is a tall annual grass that is grown for grain or forage. The waxy bran covering results in low digestibility of whole sorghum grain. It is typically processed to improve digestibility.

Sorghum grain is produced worldwide as a high-energy feed for livestock. Processing by methods such as cracking is required prior to feeding to improve nutrient digestibility.

Sorghum grain is a high-starch feedstuff fed worldwide to poultry, swine, and ruminants. Cracking improves nutrient digestibility of the grain compared to whole sorghum.

Breeding techniques have reduced tannins in most modern varieties of sorghum. However, traditional varieties with high tannin content can result in reduced feed intake in livestock.

Sorghum is a popular grain and forage grown worldwide. Sorghum grain must be processed before feeding to animals. Grinding is an inexpensive, effective method for improving digestibility.

Sorghum is grown worldwide as a grain or forage source. Flaked sorghum grain has improved digestibility over whole sorghum.

Sorghum is a tall annual grass grown for grain or forage. Whole sorghum grain has low digestibility due to the waxy bran covering that surrounds the grain.

Sorghum silage-containing grain is a high-starch, high-energy forage commonly fed to cattle. Silage is used as an alternative to hay. However, sorghum sudan grasses have high levels of nitrate and prussic acid which are toxic to horses.

Sorghum/milo grain can be heated and the kernels can be popped to improve starch digestibility. Sorghum/milo grain is a high-starch feed for beef cattle.

Sorghum residue is what remains in the field after grain harvest. It can be grazed by cattle or it can be ground for improved digestibiility.

Sorghum residue remaining after grain harvest can be grazed by cattle or can be ground for improved digestibility.
