Sorghum Feeding

Categories: Feeding Farm Animals

Can I allow milk cows to pasture on growing Kaffir and Egyptian corn

during the summer? Which one is the best for pasture and milk?



There is no difference between Kaffir corn and Egyptian corn so far as

feeding goes. They are both sorghums. There is a danger in pasturing on

young sorghums, because stock is often killed from overeating it, and

they are quite apt to do this when they come upon it from dry feed. If

you cut and wilt the young sorghum, or if it is fed sparingly with hay,

etc., it becomes innocent of injury. After the sorghum has obtained

considerable growth, it also loses its dangerous character.
