The Effect of Cane Molasses on the Digestibility of a Complete Ration Fed to Dairy Cows

Department of Dairy Husbandry, Pennsylvania State College, State College, Pennsylvania

ABSTRACT

Conclusions: The data of this experiment indicates that the digestibility of the crude fiber, the nitrogen free extract, and the ether extract is not uniformly affected in either direction by the presence of molasses in the ration. Molasses tends to depress the digestibility of crude protein and dry matter. However, this depression is so slight that it would scarcely be appreciable in ordinary feeding practice.

A more complete and detailed write-up of the experiment will be found in a thesis submitted by the writer for the Degree of Master of Science at the Pennsylvania State College.
