(f) Method of Feeding the Grains. 



(I) Fo}- Dairy Coivs. 



Naturally the chief use for this product will be as a food for dairy 

 animals. While most cows will eat the straight product, it is better 

 to feed from 2 to 4 pounds daily mixed with other grains. Distillers' 

 grains are bulky, and in this respect may take the place of bran. 

 Many combinations are possible ; a few are suggested below : 



I. 2. 



100 pounds distillers' grains. 100 pounds distillers' grains. 

 75 '' flour middlings. 75 " corn or hominy meal. 



Mix and feed (7 lbs.) 7-8 qts. daily. Mix and feed (7 lbs.) 7 qts. daily. 



3- 4- 



100 pounds distillers' grains. 150 pounds distillers' grains. 



50 " mixed wheat feed. 50 " cottonseed meal. 



50 " corn or hominy meal. 50 " bran or mixed feed. 



Mix and feed (7 lbs.) 9 qts. daily. Mix and feed (7 lbs.) 9 qts. daily. 



The above rations are intended for average sized cows, producing 

 10-12 quarts of milk daily. The quantity fed can be increased or 

 decreased according to the capacity of the animal to utilize it. 

 Heavy milking Holsteins will profitably utilize from one-half as 

 much again to double the quantity. Ration 4 contains the most 

 digestible protein, and ration i the next largest amount. The usual 

 roughage ration for the above mixtures will consist of what hay the 

 animal will eat clean (20-24 pounds),* or i bushel corn silage and 

 12-16 pounds of hay daily. 



(II) For Other Stock. 



Distillers' grains may be used as a partial grain ration for young 

 stock, beef cattle and horses. 



For growing stock a mixture of ]^ distillers' grains, ^ bran and 

 34^ corn meal ; for fattening cattle, ^ distillers' grains and ^3 corn 

 meal ; for hard worked horses, ^ distillers' grains, yi^ bran and ^ 

 cracked corn and oats. 



*Ten pounds of corn stover may be used in place of S-9 pounds of hay.
