Soy Beans Superior Protein Supplement for Dairy Cattle
Iowa State investigators find cracked soybeans equal or slightly better than linseed oilmeal as a protein supplement for dairy cows. Soybeans do not cause scours under trial conditions, and palatability remains strong when daily feed is under four pounds. Soybean oilmeal matches linseed in value, with price guiding choice. Silage with corn shows modest tonnage gains but higher seed costs offset benefits. beans in silage at 2 to 25 percent yielded little advantage.
