Cottonseed Meal Good for Horses
Professor Foster at the New Mexico experiment station says cottonseed meal is beneficial for horses when given sparingly with other concentrates. Southern stations report good results for mares, colts, and driving horses at one pound per head daily, and two pounds for work horses, mixed with ground grain. The Iowa findings show cottonseed meal with corn and oats can match linseed meal in maintaining weight and work, with less laxative effect. Its high protein and distinct flavor improve intake when blended with grains like corn, oats, milo, or barley.
