Three feeding trials were conducted to evaluate low-gossypol cottonseed flour as a replacement for fish meal in the diet of black sea bass and southern flounder raised in RAS. In experiment 1, diets were formulated to replace 0, 50, 75 and 100% menhaden fish meal protein (FMP) by glandless cottonseed flour protein (GCP) and solvent-extracted cottonseed flour protein (SCP), and to replace 100% F...

containing cottonseed hulls (12.5 percent) or a mixture of cottonseed hulls (5 percent) plus alfalfa meal (7.5 percent) as a,source of roughage. No marked effect of roughage source at this time or later in the feeding period was apparent (Table 4). The dry matter, starch and whole kernel percentages were higher later in the feeding trial, and pH was lower. Whether this difference is due to a re...

This study evaluated the effect of cotton products (whole cottonseed and cake) on semen characteristics testiculo-epididymal histology Red Sokoto bucks. A total twenty-four (24) healthy red bucks were used randomly allocated to six dietary treatments four animals (n=4) per group in a completely randomized design. The contained 10, 20 30% inclusion levels either Whole (WCS) or Cottonseed cake (C...

One hundred ninety-two steers were fed cottonseed meal, soybean meal or urea supplemented rations in which the corn grain was fed whole (with 5 percent corn silage) or in the high moisture or steam flaked form (with 14 percent corn silage dry matter added). Rates of gain and feed efficiencies were approximately equal for steers fed soybean meal and cottonseed meal and slightly superior to those...

The physicochemical characteristics of the meat from lambs fed diets containing whole or disintegrated cottonseed, associated not with calcium lignosulfonate (LignoCaSO3), were evaluated. Thirty non-castrated Dorper x Santa Inês lambs, an average 24.9 ± 3.6 kg and four months age confined for 60 days in collective stalls distributed a completely randomized design six replications. After slaught...

the effects of different levels of whole cottonseed (wcs) on feedlot performance and morphology of small intestine were studied in a completely randomized design with four diets containing 0, 4, 8 and 16 percent wcs on 20 chaal male lambs for 90 days. the metabolisable energy and proteins contents of rations were equal. number and dimensions of different types of villi and depth of crypt gland ...
