Effects of Gossypol from Whole Cottonseed on Lactatio N and Reproductive Performance of Dairy Cow S
نویسنده
چکیده
Gossypol is a naturally occurring compound in the cotton plant (Gossypium spp .) . Because gossypol has been recognized since the turn of the century to be toxic to animals, a limiting factor o f whole cottonseed and cottonseed meal as feed sources is their gossypol content (1) . Whole cottonseed and cottonseed meal are popular by-products of the cottonseed industry . Whole cottonseed is a good source of energy, fiber and proteins in diets of lactating dairy cattle . In Florida, as much as 3 .5 kg per cow per day may be fed with excellent results in maintaining high milk production and fat tests .
