Value of Various Feeding Stuffs. 



345 



for 100 Ibs. gain, and were much less troubled with scours than the 

 lot receiving corn meal only. This trial shows the value of a pro- 

 tein-rich supplement for steers fed corn on pasture. 



540. Dried distillers' grains. May of the Kentucky Station 1 fed 

 2 lots, each of 4 Short-horn and Angus grade steers running on 

 closely cropped blue grass pasture, the feeds shown in the table for 

 168 days. 



Dried distillers' grains compared with corn-and-cob meal. 



It is seen that the substitution of 5.4 Ibs. of dried distillers' grains 

 for 8.7 Ibs. of corn-and-cob meal in the ration brought 0.4 Ib. more 

 gain daily with each steer, with about 400 Ibs. less concentrates re- 

 quired for 100 Ibs. of gain. The high value of this feed used in a 

 limited way and in proper combination is here shown (317) 



541. Sugar-beet pulp. Carlyle and Griffith of the Colorado Sta- 

 tion 2 divided a bunch of forty-eight 956-lb. steers of mixed breeding 

 and below average in quality into 4 lots of 12 each, giving alfalfa 

 hay of poor quality to all without limit. Sugar-beet pulp was fed 

 without limit to 2 lots twice a day. Coarse corn meal was fed for 

 concentrates to Lots I and II, the allowance starting with 2 Ibs. per 

 steer daily and being gradually increased during the 100-day trial.
