Dehydrated Sweet Potatoes as a Substitute for Corn-Soybean Silage

Dairy Department, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge

ABSTRACT

Two feeding trials were conducted on substituting dehydrated sweet potatoes for corn-soybean silage during the winter months of 1948–1949 and 1949–1950.

The cows produced the same amount of 4 per cent fat-corrected milk on the dehydrated sweet potatoes as when they were on the silage, the averages for both trials being 23.3 and 23.7 lb. per cow per day, respectively. Apparently dehydrated sweet potatoes may serve as a good replacement for silage for milk production, especially when pastures are poor and silage unavailable.
