Corn, sorghum grain, wheat, rye, and barley each as a concentrate in complete pelleted rations compared with a standard nonpelleted sorghum grain and alfalfa hay ration for self-feeding fattening lambs

Hillman, M.; Richardson, D.; Cox, R.F.

This test duplicates one last year, which was designed to study various grains in complete pelleted rations compared with a standard nonpelleted ration. Previous work has shown that a complete pelleted ration composed of 30 to 40 percent concentrate produced faster, more efficient lamb gains than a nonpelleted ration of the same composition.
