Soy Beans to Replace Alfalfa in Lamb Feed
A winter trial at the Illinois station tested corn and soy bean hay against the standard corn and alfalfa hay. Soy bean hay matched alfalfa for lamb gains, while using whole or ground soy beans with straw was less effective with higher feed use. Lambs fed alfalfa hay gained about one third pound per head daily, whereas soy bean hay fed lambs showed similar efficiency. On gain per 100 pounds, alfalfa-fed lambs required six pounds more corn and six pounds less hay than those fed soy bean hay, indicating good quality soy bean hay as a substitute for alfalfa.
