Cottonseed Meal Improves Pig Fattening Efficiency
Experiments at North Carolina Experiment Station show cottonseed meal mixed with fish meal enhances gains and reduces costs versus fish meal alone. Fish meal at 55 percent protein slightly outperforms 60 percent protein tankage, and equal parts cottonseed meal mixed with fish meal to supplement corn prove superior to fish meal alone. Earl H. Hostetler notes the mixed feed yielded good results, leading to further mixing with tankage fed each pig. Fifty-seven pigs weighing eighty five pounds were involved.
