It has been investigated the non-traditional perennial fodder plant sorghum (Sorghum almum) for its use in feed for farm animals, fresh and preserved through the preparation of fodder. The content of nutrients in the green mass of the sorghum perennial plant: Moisture-78.25%, crude protein in absolutely dry substance -10.16%, crude fat-3.0, crude cellulose-38.95%, nutritive units-0,18, metabolic energy-8.59 Mj/kg. Organic acids had been formed in the process of green mass fermentation, which has helped to maintain the quality of the green mass and obtaining a high quality fodder. The nutrient content of the perennial herbal plant sorghum is close to the corresponding indices of the initial green mass. The green mass of the perennial plant sorghum is well suited to the preparation of fodder. Fodder is yellowish green, pleasantly smelled of pickled fruit and is well consumed by farm animals.
