Whole cottonseed successful tool in keeping butterfat percentages up
• Posted in Articles
Whole cottonseed proves a “successful tool” in keeping butterfat percentages from sliding below 3.0 in the warmer months, according to a Dairy Herd Network case study published Nov. 14, 2013. Lawson Spicer, an independent dairy nutritionist from Claremont, Calif., feeds up to 2 pounds of whole cottonseed per cow per day in the winter, depending on the farm. Then, during the warmer months, he bumps it up to 2 to 4 pounds per cow per day.
