IFA Whole Milo Seed — 50 lb Bag
High-Energy Grain Feed (Sorghum) for Livestock & Poultry
IFA Whole Milo Seed (a variety of sorghum) is a nutrient-dense grain feed with energy comparable to corn, but often with better resilience and lower risk of some grain-related issues. This whole seed version provides essential carbohydrates, fiber, and micronutrients, making it a versatile addition to rations for cattle, goats, horses, poultry, and other livestock classes.
 
Key Benefits
High-energy feed alternative — milo is widely recognized as a cost-effective substitute for corn in livestock diets
Good feed acceptance — many animals readily consume milo when properly introduced into diet
Lower mycotoxin and tannin risk — U.S. sorghum is often low in tannins with good storage stability in feed formulations
Suitable for multiple species — used broadly in cattle, swine, poultry, and mixed livestock rations
 
Feeding Guidance & Use Suggestions
Integrate gradually into existing rations over 7–10 days to allow digestive adaptation.
Mix with forages or other grains to provide balanced fiber and nutrient variety.
Monitor protein levels — milo is moderate in protein, so supplementation may be needed in certain rations.
Always offer fresh water & minerals alongside milo in the diet.
For ruminants, avoid overfeeding grain alone; balance with roughage and use controlled amounts.
 
Frequently Asked Questions
 
What is milo (sorghum) and why feed it?
Milo is a type of cereal grain in the sorghum family. It’s often used as feed because it offers energy akin to corn but is more drought-tolerant and has favorable storage characteristics.
 
Can all livestock eat milo?
Yes — milo is used across cattle, poultry, goats, and swine diets. But formulation should consider protein, fiber, and energy balance for each species.
 
Are there risks with whole milo vs cracked or processed grain?
Whole milo has a hard outer shell which may reduce digestibility if fed exclusively. Some feed processors crack, roll, or process milo to improve nutrient access.
 
How to store milo seed feed?
Keep in a cool, dry, ventilated area to protect from moisture, pests, and spoilage.
