Gossypol Intake from Cottonseed Feedstuffs – A Performance Concern for Ruminants?
نویسنده
چکیده
Cottonseed is a product of the cotton-fiber industry that is extensively used as an energy and protein source in dairy cattle diets. It provides a unique blend of protein, energy and fiber compared with other feedstuffs. Cottonseed is fed to dairy cows at 10 to 15% of the total diet dry matter (DM). Diets containing more than 15% cottonseed generally are high in fat and may contain undesirable concentrations of gossypol.

Gossypol Effects in Animal Feeding Can Be Controlled
Gossypol, a substance found naturally in cottonseed and cottonseed products has been the subject of numerous research projects and articles in the past. However, controlling gossypol intake is still a concern in many livestock classes. This review article includes a summary of the classical information on limits and effects as well as results from recent research projects with immature and adul...

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between gas produced through in vitro gas production test and microbial fuel cell (MFC) technique and introduce new assay for evaluation of ruminants feedstuffs. The treatments were 1) control diet (without whole cottonseed, monensin and vitamin E; CD), 2) diet containing 20.00% whole cottonseed (CSD), 3) diet including 20.00% who...
متن کاملUtilization of Whole Cottonseed and Hay in Beef Cow Diets
Whole cottonseed (WCS) have become a very popular by-product feed for dairy cattle and for wintering beef cows in the Southern USA. The product is locally available to many producers across the region, and in most years WCS are competitively priced with other feedstuffs. Over time, ruminant nutritionists have recommended that WCS should be fed at about 0.5% of average body weight (BW), or about...
متن کاملEffect of replacing soybean meal protein with protein from upland cottonseed, Pima cottonseed, or extruded Pima cottonseed on production of lactating dairy cows.
Pima cotton production is increasing in the United States, but Pima cottonseed generally contains higher concentrations of the antinutritive pigment gossypol than conventional upland cottonseed. Heating promotes the reaction of gossypol with protein, reducing gossypol absorption and toxicity. The objective of this study was to assess the nutritional value for dairy cattle of Pima cottonseed cak...
