The Effect of Cottonseed Meal upon the Growth and Reproduction of Cows

North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station, West Raleigh, North Carolina

ABSTRACT

Each year the problem concerning the effect of cottonseed meal upon the growth and reproduction of breeding animals becomes more acute. Cottonseed meal is one of the South's greatest feed crops and it supplies the cheapest source of protein for a large area in which the live stock industry is rapidly increasing. In the production of milk it constitutes an important part of the ration. In the feeding of beef cattle it plays an important part in the ration, and in many instances, it constitutes the sole grain ration. In the feeding and development of both classes of animals it could be used more effectively were its effects upon the growth and reproduction of such animals definitely known. In order to secure more definite information in regard to the effect of this feed upon beef and dairy cows, the Dairy Experimental Office at Raleigh, in cooperation with the Office of Beef Cattle and Sheep, began a study in 1915.
