The use of varying quantities of a 45 per cent protein supplement in a ration for fattening calves

Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station

Abstract

Five lots of 340-pound steer calves were used in the test, which started Nov. 19, 1935, and closed Oct. 20, 1936—a period of 48 weeks. Lots 1 and 2 had 19 steers each at the start of the test. One steer was withdrawn from each of these lots as the test progressed. The other three lots each contained 20 steers.

All lots were fed seven pounds of silage daily per steer, an average of 1.54 pounds of mixed clover and timothy hay and a full feed of shelled corn.

The supplement used was a mixture of tankage, 30 parts; soybean oilmeal, 30 parts; cottonseed meal, 20 parts; linseed meal, 15 parts; and minerals, 5 parts. It analyzed 45.1 per cent of protein. Eight-tenths of a pound of this mixture contained about as much protein as one pound of a mixture of equal parts of linseed meal and cottonseed meal.
