Ground Grain Sorghum Roughages for Fattening Lambs1

Rufus F. Cox and W. E. Connell

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station

Abstract

Introductory to this discussion, attention is called to previous experiments in the utilization of the entire grain sorghum plant for fattening lambs, reported in Bulletin 264 of the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station. Included in these experiments were tests of different proportions of concentrates to roughage, the value of adding ground limestone to grain sorghum roughages fed alone or with a small amount of alfalfa hay, and comparisons of ground Atlas fodder and alfalfa hay with ground Atlas fodder alone as roughage. In comparing different proportions of concentrates to roughage, one lot of lambs was fed only ground Atlas fodder containing 20 per cent grain, as roughage. This lot was compared with two others which were fed the ground fodder, but received in addition varying amounts of grain. All three lots were fed cottonseed meal.
