Abstract
The aim of the research was to study the possibility of replacing corn grain with sorghum grain in the diets of pigs. The following tasks were solved: to study the actual nutritional value of corn grain and sorghum grain; make recipes for compound feed with the inclusion of corn and sorghum grains; to determine the effect of compound feed from grain sorghum on suckling sows and offspring; to evaluate the effect of compound feed from grain sorghum on the growth and development of fattening young animals. Scientific and economic experiments were carried out on the basis of the KLH them. Frunze of the Belgorod region on groups of suckling sows and fattening young pigs. Grain sorghum variety Slavyanskoe Pole 210 bred by the All-Russian Research Institute of Sorghum and Soybean Slavyanskoe Pole was tested. Our scientific studies have shown that most of the biological characteristics of sorghum grain are neutral for pigs and do not have a significant negative impact on their digestion and viability. If we take into account that the diet with the inclusion of sorghum is cheaper than the corn-containing diet by 3 rubles per 1 kg, the high economic efficiency of the production of fodder based on sorghum grain in the amount of 5 rubles per 1 grown head is obvious.
