Sunflower seed as cattle feed praised by Sweden expert
Prof Bergstrand of the Royal Agricultural Academy in Sweden reports on sunflower seed as cattle feed noting its stable fat and protein content and high nutritive value. Experiments at Ultuna show improved milk quantity and quality in cows, with butter of exceptional excellence. Draft oxen and fattening bullocks benefit, horses tolerate it when mixed with chaff, and the cake is cheaper and feedable in larger quantities than most other cakes.
