Cane Versus Beet Molasses for Fattening Two-year-old Steers, 120 Day

Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station

Abstract

The feeding of molasses to fattening steers and other cattle, as well as to other livestock has received much attention in the practical feeding world in the last decade, more particularly in the latter part.

Great and copious cargoes of cane or blackstrap molasses have come into our southern ports from Cuban and other sources, while in addition there is a surplus product from our own southern mills. A great deal of this cane molasses, from the Southland and from nearby islands, has come into the Corn Belt; in truth, it has been widely distributed throughout the United States, either as straight molasses or mixed in specialty feeds. The beet molasses, the product of the sugar beet, comes to us in large measure from the sugar beet factories of the West and Middle West, coming in competition with cane molasses.

Some practical experimental material, covering the use of cane and beet molasses in the fattening of two-year-old steers, helps to give us a line upon the feeding value of these two kinds of molasses.
