Breeding techniques have reduced tannins in most modern varieties of sorghum. However, traditional varieties with high tannin content can result in reduced feed intake in livestock.
Mad Barn's Feed Bank provides nutritional profiles on 4,274 forages, feeds and supplements used in the equine diet. With our free diet formulation tool, this data can be used by horse owners and nutritionists to design balanced feeding programs for horses in their care.

Nutritional Analysis
Dry Matter
As Fed
Dry matter measures everything in your feed except for the water or moisture content. Because moisture content varies, nutritionists formulate diets on a dry matter basis.
