Cotton Seed Hulls and Silage in Steer Rations
In southern practice cotton seed hulls are fed with hulls and cotton seed meal to steer cattle. Experiments at Texas stations show hulls have higher nutritive value than corn silage, while adding silage raises total gain but not gain cost per pound. Silage-fed steers gain 2.54 lb daily, hull-fed 2.20. hulls cost per 100 lb gain is $3.73 versus $3.83 for silage. A molasses supplement increases intake of cottonseed meal and hulls, boosting gains. Old geese are efficient layers and mothers, remaining productive for twenty years, making them valuable to poultrymen.
