Salt-Cottonseed Meal Mixture as a Supplement for Breeding Ewes on the Range

University of California

Abstract

A mixture of 25 percent salt and 75 percent cottonseed meal self-fed was compared with hand-fed cottonseed meal as a supplemental feed for pregnant and lactating ewes under range conditions. The supplement was fed from October 1 to March 2 to 48 range ewes. The average daily intake per ewe ranged from 0.073 pound cottonseed meal and 0.058 pound salt to 0.347 pound cottonseed meal and 0.116 pound salt. Lamb production, wool production and ewe weights gave no indication of adverse effects due to the large salt intake.
