Introduction to Sorghum for Livestock
Sorghum is a hardy cereal crop widely used in livestock feeding systems. Its grains are rich in energy, moderate in protein, and highly digestible. NA-Animals Feeds supplies premium sorghum tailored for dairy, beef, sheep, goat, and camel feeding. Sorghum is particularly suitable for arid regions, making it a key feed ingredient in Gulf countries where fresh forage is limited.
