Abstract
Male weanling rats were in 16 groups of 6, fed for 13 days on diets based on grain sorghum and maize starch, the latter being replaced by none, 5, 10 or 15% of soya bean oilmeal (SBM) containing 53.26% protein. Four grain sorghum genotypes were used: low-tannin, low-protein; low-tannin, high-protein; high-tannin, low-protein; high-tannin, high-protein. The low-tannin genotypes gave significantly higher gains with none, 5 and 10% SBM than the high-tannin genotypes; there was no significant difference at the 15% supplementation. Weight gains increased with amount of protein in the diet. In diets with no SBM the high-tannin genotypes gave a lower feed efficiency than the low-tannin, but the differences were not significant in the supplemented diets
