Over the years, cattlemen have proven resourceful in finding nutrient sources for feeding cattle. Recent challenges caused by drought, supply chain issues and conventional feed ingredient availability have only emphasized the need to recognize and potentially utilize alternative ingredient sources.

When it comes to feed ingredients, few can compete with whole cottonseed for lactating dairy cattle. As a triple nutrient feedstuff containing protein, high energy and high fiber, cottonseed is proven to support milk production and boost butterfat. To maximize these nutritional benefits, it’s important to store and handle cottonseed properly.
