- Forage sorghum and corn silage are both used as silage crops1234. Here are some differences between the two:
- Forage sorghum usually produces as much silage per acre as corn, but sorghum silage contains less grain and is higher in fiber than corn silage. The protein content of sorghum silage is similar to or slightly higher than that of corn, but it is less digestible1.
- Corn is an excellent silage crop, but if corn harvested as silage has lost yield potential and forage quality, forage sorghum can be an alternative to consider. Forage sorghum has better drought tolerance and slightly less nitrogen fertilizer requirement than corn2.
- Forage sorghum silage is about 80-90% the feeding value of corn silage due to the reduced starch content and the harder seed coat of the sorghum kernel compared to corn3.
