Cottonseed Meal as a Feed for Dairy Calves

Department of Dairy Husbandry, Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station, East Lansing, Michigan

ABSTRACT

Cottonseed meal injury in cattle is similar, if not identical, to the injury produced when too much concentrates in proportion to roughage is fed.

At least two pounds of cottonseed meal daily can be fed to calves five months of age or older which receive all the silage and hay of good quality they will eat.

There was no appreciable difference in the sleekness of coat and pliability of hide between the heifers receiving cottonseed meal and linseed meal.

There was no appreciable difference between the rate of food passage through the digestive tract by the heifers receiving cottonseed meal and linseed oil meal.

There was no measurable difference in the consistency of feces exceted by the two groups of heifers.
