Cottonseed Oils in Purified and Skim Milk Diets for Calves¹

Department of Animal Industry North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station, Raleigh

ABSTRACT

1. Calves did not grow so well when fed purified diets as when receiving whole milk. Although growing relatively poorly, the calves appeared normal when fed the purified diet containing 3.5 per cent hydrogenated cottonseed oil. They grew very poorly on such a diet containing 3.5 per cent nonhydrogenated refined cottonseed oil and died in a few weeks.
   
2. Calves which received the purified diets developed fatty livers whether the oil was hydrogenated or not. Since the calves receiving hydrogenated cottonseed oil with reconstituted nonfat milk solids had normal liver lipide values, it is apparent that the purified diet was concerned in the production of fatty livers.
   
3. The calves which received the hydrogenated cottonseed oil had lower blood plasma fat values than calves which received butterfat.
