The Effect of Feeding Cottonseed Meal as the Only Concentrate on Several Properties of Milk. IV. Fat Constants^*

Dairy Department, South Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station, Clemson

ABSTRACT

In general the feeding of cottonseed meal as the only concentrate as compared with feeding a normal grain mixture decreased the saponification number and increased the iodine number and the refractive index. The expected decrease in Eeichert-Meissl number did not become evident until after nine months of the feeding period had passed.

In a similar comparison, the milk fat from the cottonseed meal group was less stable toward oxidation than that from the control group. No difference in acid degree of the two milk fats was detected.
