In years past, many poultry nutritionists

would typically discount the nutritional value

of grain sorghum compared to corn or wheat.

The nutritional value of sorghum was assumed

to be 85 to 90 percent of the total feeding

value of corn. For sorghum to replace corn

in a lower-cost feed formulation, this meant

that sorghum had to trade at prices much

lower than corn before it would be included

in the formulation. Today’s sorghum varieties

compare more favorable to corn in lower-cost

feed formulations.

Old varieties of grain sorghum contained

relatively high amounts of an anti-nutritional

compound called tannin. The presence

of tannin in poultry feeds is well known to

suppress growth and performance of all types

of poultry (Nyachoti et. al, 1996). Tannins bind

to proteins and render them less available for

metabolism. Although tannin reduces bird

damage in fields of sorghum, poultry are birds,

too, and are also affected by the anti-nutritional

properties of tannin.In years past, many poultry nutritionists
