Protein Supplements with Different Roughages for Fattening Cattle

Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station

Abstract

Relative Efficiency of Linseed Meal and Cottonseed Meal

The relative value of linseed meal and cottonseed meal for fattening cattle has been pretty well determined if dependence is placed on experimental and practical field evidence. Cattlemen believe that linseed meal is better than cottonseed meal for fattening calves, yearlings, and older cattle. Is that the fact, and if so, to what degree? The relative efficiency of these two widely used protein supplements has been tested in two different years by us. Similar comparative researches under widely different conditions of experimentation have been conducted by several investigators in the field of economic cattle feeding.

We have selected from among the many experimental comparisons one of the Missouri feeding records as being somewhat typical of the group in that it represents the various phases in which the brown flaxseed by-product of the North has proved to be superior to the yellow meal of the cottonseed from the sunny South.
