Cottonseed Hulls in Baby Beef Rations

W. L. Blizzard

Oklahoma Experiment Station

Abstract

This paper has been issued as a mimeographed press bulletin on April 22, 1933 by the Oklahoma Station.

Eight head of 400-pound high-grade Hereford calves were fed in each lot. Lot 3 was full fed two parts ground shelled corn, one part cottonseed meal, prairie hay, and ground limestone. Lot 6 was fed the same ration except that cottonseed hulls were substituted for the hay. The feeding period was 181 days. The hay-fed calves consumed more grain daily, although the other lot consumed more roughage in the shape of hulls. The calves which received hay gained 1.95 pounds a day, while those receiving hulls gained 1.87 pounds. To produce 100 pounds of gain, the calves in Lot 3 required 503 pounds of concentrates and 210 pounds of hay, while the calves in Lot 6 required 470 pounds of concentrates and 248 pounds of cottonseed hulls.
