The Nutritive Value of Cattle 

 Feeds 



3. Dried Apple Pomace for 

 Farm Stock 



By J. B. LIND5EY, C. L. BEAL5 AND J. G. ARCHIBALD 



Apple pomace is the residue left from the manufacture of 

 cider. Experiments show that it can be dried in such a way 

 as to insure its preservation and greatly enhance its economic 

 value. As an animal feed, it may be fed to dairy cows as a 

 component of the grain ration, or when moistened as a substi- 

 tute for corn silage. It must be supplemented with rich pro- 

 tein feeds, however, in order to insure satisfactory production. 

 This bulletin reports the experimental evidence on the basis of 

 which the above statements are made.
