Legumes for Lambs Show Benefits in Illinois Study
A four year feeding test at Illinois College of Agriculture found legumes improve lamb fattening. Nine lots fed corn and alfalfa hay gained 100 pounds per 350 pounds of corn and 458 pounds per batch of alfalfa. Self feeding corn caused losses, while self feeding a ground corn and ground alfalfa mix yielded faster gains and better finished carcasses than hand feeding. Corn alone was unsatisfactory.
