Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
One 28-day receiving experiment was conducted using 625 exotic x British cross heifers to evaluate growth performance and morbidity on receiving diets that contained either alfalfa hay or a pellet composed of 65% cottonseed hulls and 35% cottonseed meal as the roughage source. Heifers fed the cotton byproduct pellet consumed more feed (P0.05), and the percentages of heifers diagnosed, treated, or retreated for respiratory disease were similar.
