I would stay away from any large quantities of millet -- it is highly goitrogenic -- which means it not only can cause a goiter but also messes with the thyroid hormones. Feeding a dog a lot of millet can lead to hypothyroidism.
Cooking will destroy a lot of the goitrogenic properties of many foods like broccoli but cooking just increases millet's goitrogenic properties! Brown rice would be a better choice IMHO. No need to avoid all millet, unless thyroid problems are already known -- just make sure moderation is the key. |
