Molasses Types Compared for Beef Fattening Gains
Texas Agricultural Experiment Station researchers J K Rices and A Y Blankenship evaluated five molasses types as substitutes for ground sorghum in cattle fattening rations over 140 days. Forty eight Hereford yearlings averaged 586 pounds received 13 or 26 percent molasses substitutions. 13 percent yielded higher gains (2.49 lb/day) than 26 percent (2.24 lb/day). Ground sorghum gave best results, followed by dried molasses, black strap, citrus, corn, and wood molasses with wood being least palatable and least effective.
