THE I. A. A. RECORD 



December, 1930 



Feeding Trials Show 



Value Soybean Oil Meal 



A Superior Feed for Cows, Pigs, 

 Sheep and Poultry. 



THE superior feeding qualities of 

 soybean oil meal are discussed in a 

 series of experiments brought to light 

 recently by J. H. Lloyd of the Soybean 

 Marketing Association. 



Henry and Morrison, authorities on 

 the feeding of farm animals, state that 

 the total digestible nutrients in 100 

 f>ounds of soybean oil meal is 84.2 

 pounds compared to 78.2 pounds in 

 cotton seed meal and 77.9 pounds in 

 linseed oil meal. Soybean oil meal is 

 very palatable and can be safely fed in 

 quantities to all classes of live stock. 



With guaranteed 40 per cent protein 

 soybean oil meal at $45 a ton, a pound 

 of protein costs the feeder 5.62 5 cents, 

 while at the same price per ton a 

 pound of protein in 34 per cent protein 

 linseed oil meal costs 6.617 cents. On 

 this basis linseed oil meal protein is 

 17.6 per cent higher in price than pro- 

 tein in soybean oil meal. 



For Dairy Co^^s 



Soybean oil meal is especially valu- 

 able in feeding dairy cows. One hun- 

 dred pounds of soybean oil meal mixed 

 with 500 pounds of corn and cob meal, 

 and 300 pounds of ground oats makes 

 a very good grain ration when fed with 

 legume hay. Another good ration is: 



Soybean oil meal 100 pounds 



Wheat bran 100 



Corn-and-cob meal 600 



Ground oats 300 



When both silage and legume hay are 

 ted the following mixtures are recom- 

 mended: 



J. Soybean oil meal 200 pounds 



Wheat bran 100 



Ground corn or barley.600 

 Ground oats 300 " 



2. Soybean oil 100 



Cottonseed meal 100 " 



Ground corn or barley.600 

 Ground oats 300 



Wheat may be substituted for corn 

 or barley in the above rations. 



The Ohio Experiment Station reports 

 a 2 per cent advantage over linseed 

 oil meal for milk production. The 

 Tennessee Station secured an increase 

 of 5 per cent in milk production and 

 butterfat content when cows were fed 

 joybean oil meal as compared with cot- 

 tonseed meal. 



For Beef Calves 



Beef calves fed at the Illinois Station 

 with soybean oil meal made somewhat 

 faster and slightly more economical 

 gains than those receiving cottonseed 



meal. The cost per 100 cwt. of beef 

 was $7.69 for the soybean oil meal lot 

 as compared with $8.32 for the calves 

 fed cottonseed meal. 



Soybean oil meal has a high value for 

 feeding hogs. The soybean oil meal 

 has approximately 80 per cent of the 

 value of tankage, according to the Uni- 

 versity of Illinois. In other words, a 

 mixture of 90 pounds of corn and 10 

 pounds of tankage would contain ap- 

 proximately the same amount' of pro- 

 tein as a mixture of 88 pounds of corn 

 and 12 pounds of soybean oil meal. 



The Illinois Experiment Station rec- 

 ommends half a pound of soybean meal 

 daily for pigs. Brood sows should be 

 fed about the same amount during the 

 gestation period. These figures must 

 be cut in half for full-fed pigs running 

 on pasture. 



For Poultry 



At the North Carolina Station it was 

 found that a mixture of equal parts of 

 soybean oil meal, wheat shorts and 

 cracked corn, moistened with sweet 

 milk was a good ration for little chicks. 



Pacific Coast poultrymen have used 

 soybean oil meal for several years and 

 consider it a most excellent feed for 

 poultry and egg production. 



Kennard and White found that soy- 

 bean oil meal, with suitable minerals 

 added, gave results in egg production 

 comparable with a standard meat scrap 

 ration. 



Similarly soybean meal and soybean 

 hay are recommended for feeding sheep. 

 The Illinois Experiment Station found 

 that soybean oil meal as a supplement 

 to shelled corn and soybean straw re- 

 sulted in somewhat more rapid gains, 

 and in the use of slightly less feed for 

 100 pounds of gain than did linseed oil 

 meal. 



Lambs getting soybean oil meal had 

 good appetites at all times and were 

 never off feed. Soybeans in this form 

 seemed to be more palatable than either 

 the whole or ground soybeans. Lambs 

 fed soybean oil meal were more desir- 

 ably finished than those fed the whole 

 or ground beans.

 soybean oil meal, together with rations 

 for all classes of live stock can be had

 sociation, 608 S. Dearborn St., Chicago.

Soybean Marketing 



Ass'n. Financial Plan 



Authorizes Issue of $100,000 of 6 

 Per Cent Preferred Stock 



THE Soybean Marketing Association 

 recently launched a campaign to sell 

 capital stock for financing future op- 

 erations of the co-operative in effective- 

 ly merchandising the soybean crop pro- 

 duced by more than 2,900 members. 



The new financing plan calls for 

 capitalization of $100,000. There has 

 been authorized the sale of 2,000 shares 

 of" 6 per cent preferred "A" cumula- 

 tive stock of $50 par value. As we go 

 to press reports show- that 87 shares al- 

 ready have been purchased by soybean 

 growers. In addition 20 shares have 

 been bought by Farm Bureaus and the 

 Illinois Agricultural Association. 



A series of county meetings is being 

 arrjinged by the various local advisory 

 councils where soybean growers will 

 learn the details of the financing plan. 



At a meeting in Decatur on Novem- 

 ber 26 the need for enlarging the out- 

 let for soybean products and for funds 

 to market the crop orderly was dis- 

 cussed at length. Up to date the asso- 

 ciation has been operating on funds 

 borrowed from the Intermediate Credit 

 Bank and the Federal Farm Board. 



County meetings in the soybean 

 growing area are to be arranged as soon 

 after December 17 as possible. The soy- 

 bean advisory counsels are to have 

 charge of local solicitation. J. H. Lloyd, 

 manager of the association, will attend 

 most of these meetings and outline plans 

 for the development of the Soybean 

 Marketing Association on a broader 

 basis, looking toward joining with 

 growers in other states.
