Chest Tubes After Open Heart Surgery. When a patient has a chest tube after heart surgery, the tube is inserted near the sternum (breastbone), and is intended to drain any blood that accumulates away from the surgery site.
Currently there are five major types of sorghum grown: 1) Grain sorghum with dwarf varieties that grow 2 to 5 ft tall for easier combining. 2) Forage sorghum which grows 6 to 12 ft tall, produces more dry matter tonnage than grain sorghum, is coarse stemmed and used for silage.
include hay, straw, and artificially dehydrated forages, which contain about 90 per cent of dry matter. Silages are formed from green forages such as grass, alfalfa, sorghum, and corn preserved in a silo at dry matter contents of 20 to 50 percent. Green, growing pastures provide forage that has a high water content and only 20 to 30 percent of dry matter. There are two basic types of roughages: (1) grasses, and (2) legumes. The grasses are generally higher in fiber and dry matter than legumes. The legumes are generally higher in proteins, energy, vitamins, and minerals. Soil fertility, soil type, and climate influence the productivity and nutrient content of the various grasses and legumes.
