Balanced rations favored for sheep say experts
D B Bell of the Ohio experimental station told the annual meeting of the state wool growers association that a well balanced ration rich in legumes like clover alfalfa or soy bean hay yields better results. He cited tests showing low protein rations produce weak lambs with high mortality, and urged using high protein feeds such as linseed meal to supplement corn silage or fodder, with a three to three to one core oats mix, and different rations for breeding ewes versus fattening lambs.

Soybeans Prove Valuable As Feed For Dairy Cattle
Dairymen report soy bean plants yield valuable feed for dairy cattle. W B Nevens of the University of Illinois notes that soy beans and their oil meal serve as concentrated feeds rich in protein and energy. Studies show soy bean straw is a poor roughage, while soy bean hay equals alfalfa of similar grade. Feeding trials indicate soy bean oil meal equals cottonseed meal as a protein supplement. Over 20 cows participate in trials comparing whole hay with chaffed and ground forms. Regular hay refusals vary with planting density.
