What is the feed value of lightweight sorghum grain?
The feeding value of clean grain sorghum weighing 35 to 40 pounds or more per bushel is virtually equal to standard test weight milo on a pound-for-pound basis. Nutritionally, lightweight milo is higher in crude protein, fiber, and minerals but somewhat lower in starch than normal grain. However, their digestible energy values are similar when properly processed. Light milo is more difficult to process because of greater variation in seed size, smaller berries, and more foreign material. Because of its lower bulk density, light test weight milo also requires more transportation and storage space per ton and takes longer to process than normal grain.
