Starch - Feed Database

Sorghum grain, also known as milo, is commonly grown in tropical and subtropical regions. High moisture sorghum is used in cattle and swine diets as an energy source.

Sorghum grain, also known as milo, is commonly grown in tropical and subtropical regions. Sorghum grain is not easily digestible and is high in starch which can cause hindgut issues in the horse.

Dry rolled sorghum is an African grain that is made more digestible through the process of rolling. Sorghum is not readily used in horse feed as it is high in starch and not easily digestible.

Steam flaked sorghum is processed by steaming and rolling to increase its digestibility. Sorghum is a tropical grain commonly grown for human and food animal production.

Fine ground sorghum/milo grain is a high-energy feed primarily used in cattle diets. It provides high starch content which supports weight gain in beef cattle.

Sorghum/milo grain is a high-energy feed for cattle. Fine and medium grind sorghum has higher feed efficiency compared to coarse ground grain.

High moisture sorghum/milo is fed to beef cattle as an energy-rich feed. It is preferable to harvest at 30% moisture content compared to 22% moisture for storage purposes.

High moisture harvested sorghum/milo is used in ruminant diets. Feed efficiency is greater for high moisture sorghum compared to dry grain sorghum.

Soy meal provides a source of protein to livestock species. Treatment with formaldehyde can increase the bioavailability of protein and the absorption of essential amino acids.

Barastoc's Steamed Flaked Barley & Molasses is a supplement that is meant to provide energy in a digestible and palatable way. It is supposed to be an addition to horse's normal feed, especially performance horses.

Tapioca is the extracted starch from cassava flour. Tapioca pearls are sometimes fed to horses to support gut motility and are anecdotally said to help with sand colic.

Wheat bran is the outermost layer of the wheat kernel. Wheat bran is high in phosphorous and, if fed as part of an unbalanced diet, it can cause calcium imbalances in horses.

Wheat flour is made from ground wheat kernels consisting of the germ, endosperm and bran. White flour consists only of the ground endosperm, whereas whole wheat flour consists of the ground endosperm and some of the germ and bran.

Ground wheat is made from grinding whole wheat kernels. It is typically used for bread manufacturing.

Wheat mill run consists of leftover particles of bran, germ and flour produced during the milling process. Wheat mill run sometimes appears in horse feeds.

Red dog flour consists mainly of aleurone - the layer between the bran and the endosperm of the wheat kernel. It also contains the leftover particles of bran, germ and flour produced during the milling process.

Second clear wheat flour consists of ground-up outer layers of the wheat endosperm. It is very high in ash (0.75%) and is a cost-effective ingredient to aid in binding and producing the structure of baked items.

Wheat germ meal is added to equine feeds as a palatable protein source. It is a high-phosphorus, low-calcium ingredient which must be balanced to bring the calcium-phosphorus ratio of the diet into an appropriate range.

Wheat middlings are a byproduct of wheat flour production consisting of wheat bran, shorts, germ and flour. It is a palatable, high-energy feed for cattle and horses.

Wheat middlings are a byproduct of wheat flour production. Fine ground wheat middlings are a palatable feed stuff commonly added to cattle and equine feeds.

Wheat middlings consists of leftover particles of bran, germ and flour produced during the milling process. Wheat middlings are commonly used as an ingredient in horse feeds.

Wheat Shorts consists of leftover particles of bran, germ and flour produced during the milling process. Wheat shorts are commonly found as an ingredient in horse feeds.

Whole Oats from Red Mills is intended for all horses and ponies at any work level but specifically racehorses. This feed is meant to provide a high-quality source of energy.
