Photo Of The Week: Council Visits Sorghum QSP Trial In Kenya

Last week, representatives from the U.S. Grains Council (USGC) visited an ongoing sorghum Quality Sampling Program (QSP) trial in Kenya. The trial is demonstrating the nutritional value and benefits of using sorghum in poultry feed rations. In Kenya, white maize/corn is the primary feed ingredient used in poultry feed, and lack of availability can routinely drive up feed prices in the country. The Council’s sorghum trial examines the potential uses of alternative feed grain ingredients in Kenya, while maintaining its performance.
