Feeding Cattle With Cottonseed Across Mississippi Experiments
The Mississippi Experiment Station compares feeding cows with cottonseed products versus hulls and meal. Results show 6 pounds of cottonseed meal equals about 1.71 pounds of seed and that cottonseed often yields equal or better milk and weight gains than corn based feeds. Economic figures compare prices per bushel and ton to guide value judgments for cottonseed, meal, and corn cob meal in dairy rations.
