In the reference 19 varieties crop Proso millet, where this is mentioned in the description.

Millet is used in the form of whole or ground grain, as well as green mass, hay, and silage. Millet grain is rich in lysine, tryptophan, methionine, and B-group vitamins, which increases its value for poultry and pig farming. The digestibility of nutrients in ground grain reaches 80%, and in terms of its energy value, it is close to corn.

As green fodder and hay, millet is valued for its tender mass and ability to retain nutrients when harvested at the waxy ripeness stage. Due to its drought resistance and short growing season, millet is a versatile insurance crop for stubble sowing and the "green conveyor," although cases of animal poisoning are possible when grazing sheep in autumn on immature crops.
