Abstract | Trials were conducted in 1986 to study the effect of supplementing cows with 41% crude protein (CP) cottonseed pellets on their subsequent liveweight change, calf liveweight change, fecal botanical composition, daily water consumption and travel in cows grazing semidesert rangeland between 16 April and 18 August. Effects of physiological status (lactating vs. non-lactating) were also considered. |
