Abstract
Several simple treatments of high tannin, bird resistant Br-54 sorghum grain markedly diminished the tannin content as determined by the vanillin assay. One of these treatments (moistening the grain with NH40H) strikingly improved the nutritional quality of the high tannin sorghum, so that for rats and chicks it gave weight gains and feed efficiency equivalent to low tannin sorghum. Other treatments, including gaseous NH3 under pressure and autoclaving, also improved the nutritional quallty of Br-54, but to a lesser degree. These same treatments lowered the nutritional quality of a control low tannin sorghum, RS-610
