Test Results* show that whole cottonseed is unique as a natural feed ingredient. In fact, field studies have shown that the fat in whole cottonseed bypasses the rumen and gels to the udder. This has resulted in as much as a .2% to .6% increase in milk fat content in some herds. Now, CO-OP nutritionists have found a new way to make the advantages of cottonseed available to you. Using a new manufacturing process, whole cottonseed cottonseed is incorporated into a pellet without losing its unique characteristics. In addition, this special pellet contains other ingredients to help boost both butterfat and milk production. It all adds up to more valuable milk.
