dc.description.abstract |
Thirty head of good quality, about 750-pound, Hereford yearling
steers were used in the test which was started December 7, 1951. The
steers were purchased in the spring of 1951 and had been grazed on
bluestem pasture during the summer and fall. They carried a moderate
amount of flesh. They lost some flesh during October and November
when they were on grass alone prior to the start of winter tests. The
steers were sprayed twice with B.H.C. for lice. All of the pastures in
which the steers were wintered had been grazed the previous summer
at normal stocking rates, but a plentiful supply of dry grass remained.
From 6 to 13 acres of pasture were allowed each steer.
The 30 steers were divided into three lots of 10 steers each and
received the following supplements in addition to dry bluestem pasture
from December 7, 1951, to April 29, 1952.
Lot 1-2 pounds of cottonseed oil meal pellets daily, salt, and
mineral (bonemeal and salt).
Lot' 2-4 pounds of cottonseed oil meal pellets every other day
(average 2 pounds a day), salt, and mineral (bonemeal and salt).
Lot 3-Cottonseed oil meal and salt self-fed, and mineral (bonemeal
and salt). (The salt was mixed with the cottonseed oil meal to limit
its consumption and make it possible to self-feed the cottonseed oil
meal. This mixture was fed in a self-feeder.) The cottonseed oil meal
pellets were fed on the ground. |
