Feeding Cotton Seed Hulls
Cotton seed hulls are hard dry seed coats making up about half the weight of cotton seed. They are coated with fuzzy lint and are a poorly digestible carbonaceous fodder, similar to wheat straw unless well cleaned. Early hulls from green seed may be better. For maintenance, hulls can be fed alone but should be balanced with meal, preferably cotton seed meal as the most concentrated option.
