Strategies to enhance the performance of pigs and poultry on sorghum-based diets

2013-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Grain sorghum is grown for consumption by both human and animals; sorghum-based diets are offered to ruminants, pigs and poultry. Sorghum is included in animal diets primarily as an energy source, being largely derived from starch. However, the efficiency of utilisation of energy from sorghum is variable and this may be problematic for animal production. Starch granules are surrounded by kafirin protein bodies and...
