KUALA LUMPUR: A local sorghum strain developed by Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) is a cost-effective potential alternative to imported animal feed, researchers say.
The Putra SB2 sorghum variety has abundant leaves and high levels of carbohydrates and sugars, making it suitable for use as fodder for ruminant livestock like cattle and goats and as a replacement for Napier grass.
