Sorghum Silage - Feed Ingredient
Sorghum silage is a fermented forage made from the whole sorghum plant (Sorghum bicolor), harvested at the soft-dough stage and ensiled to preserve its nutritional content. It serves as a roughage and energy source, particularly in regions where water scarcity limits corn production.
In equine nutrition, sorghum silage is used less frequently than in ruminant diets due to its variable palatability and potential for high hydrocyanic acid (HCN) content in some sorghum varieties, especially if harvested under stress conditions. Proper ensiling reduces HCN risk and improves digestibility.
The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Sorghum Silage as an ingredient.
