Research
Texas Grain Sorghum Producers Board works closely with the United Sorghum Checkoff Program to develop the best research programs in the country. Sorghum feed use efficiency has increased dramatically impart due to research programs that Texas Grain Sorghum Producers Board commissions.
Livestock Feeding Guides
Sorghum has been found to have a high feed use efficiency when combined with the proper Total Mixed Ration (TMR). Here are feeding guides for a variety of species. These guides are publish by the United Sorghum Checkoff Program to promote the feed research of Grain Sorghum.
Aquaculture
Livestock Feeding Guides in Spanish, French, and Chinese languages can be found here: All Livestock Feeding Guides
As the human population has increased around the world, the need for sustainable farm-raised aquaculture products has rose. Sorghum has taken the step to provide a nutrient dense and sustainable feed ingredient for the aquaculture industry.
Pet Food
Grain Sorghum has a unique gluten-free quality makes it exceptionally healthy as a pet food ingredient.
Ethanol & Dried Distillers Grains
In Texas, sorghum offers significant value to growers as a dependable and profitable feedstock for ethanol production. Its ability to thrive with less water and inputs helps reduce production risk, while strong demand from ethanol plants creates a consistent market and competitive pricing opportunities. Sorghum’s efficient conversion into ethanol enhances its value beyond traditional uses, and its co-products, such as distillers grains, provide an additional revenue stream through livestock feed. By serving as a renewable fuel source, sorghum not only supports energy independence but also strengthens market stability and long-term profitability for Texas producers.
