The Feeding Value of Norghum Sorghum when Fed to Lambs1

R. M. Jordan2

South Dakota Agriculture Experiment Station

Abstract

Two feeding trials and one digestion trial with lambs were conducted to determine the value of Norghum sorghum as compared with corn. From these trials the following conclusions were drawn:

  1. The new variety of sorghum named Norghum is a palatable feed for lambs when fed whole.
  2. Lambs fed Norghum sorghum made about as good gains as corn-fed lambs.
  3. The corn-fed lambs required less feed per hundred pounds of gain than the Norghum-fed lambs.
  4. Norghum sorghum compares favorably with No. 2 dent corn in all nutrients and contains about two percent more total protein.
  5. The coefficient of apparent digestibility of all of the feed nutrients is lower for Norghum sorghum than for corn.
