The meal is much used with skim-milk for feeding to calves. For hogs, the grain should be ground and fed in troughs, using water or skim-milk to moisten the meal. Best results may be secured by feeding the meal with alfalfa hay or skim-milk, or by feeding when the hogs are on alfalfa pasture. For sheep, the whole grain, ground grain, or fodder may be used. The whole grain is excellent for poultry. The grain is similar in composition to corn, but is slightly higher in starch content and lower in protein. In feeding tests it has never been found quite equal to corn. The fodder is considered equal to corn stover. Care must be exercised in feeding the young growth, as it has been found that prussic acid devel- ops when the growth is checked. Under certain conditions, young growths of all sorghams may be poisonous. Frost and extreme drought are supposed to develop the poison by checking the growth, resulting in the action of an enzyme on a glucoside normally present in the plant. Literature.
