Sorghum/Milo
A highly drought-resistant crop which is grown in many areas of the world – often less expensive than yellow corn. The level of tannins in sorghum limit its use in poultry diets. However, tannin-free varieties are now available, and as a result, sorghum can be substituted for corn in poultry diets with only minor changes in the amounts of other ingredients.

Oats
Normally have almost 90 percent of the energy value of barley and contain more fiber than barley or corn. They can vary considerably in protein, fiber and energy.
