Feeding Dairy Cattle 



official definition for yellow hominy feed is exactly the same 

 as that for hominy feed except that it is made from yellow 

 crjrn instead of white corn. 



CORN FEED MEAL 



The oflficial definition for corn feed meal is as follows: 

 "Corn feed meal is the by-product obtained in the manu- 

 facture of cracked corn with or without aspiration products 

 added to the sittings and is also the by-product obtained in 

 the manufacture of table meal from the whole grain by the 

 non-degerminating process." By comparing this definition 

 of corn feed meal with the definition of hominy feed given 

 just above it will be noticed that there is practically no differ- 

 ence with the exception that corn feed meal would contain 

 all of the germs without any of the oil having been taken out. 

 Therefore, pound for pound it will be seen that corn feed 

 meal should be somewhat more valuable for feeding than 

 hominy. It will be noted in the table that I have given 

 exactly the same analysis for corn feed meal and hominy 

 feed. In the last edition of Henry's "Feeds and Feeding" 

 there is no analysis given for corn feed meal. Corn feed meal 

 is practically always yellow because it is in the main the 

 by-product obtained in the manufacture of cracked corn and 

 yellow table meal. Both hominy and corn feed meal in my 

 estimation are better for feeding dair}^ cows than straight 

 corn meal. The writer has also felt that the modern table 

 meal that we buy in grocery stores is a very poor product 

 for human consumption. Manufacturers have refined it to 

 such an extent in order to make it look better that it has lost 

 a great deal of the substance which makes the old fashioned 

 water ground meal of greater nutritive value. AVhat human 

 beings have lost in the modern table meals our animals have 

 gained in corn feed meal and hominy. 



CORN BRAX 



Corn bran is not found on the market to any great extent. 

 As will be noted by consulting the table corn bran is an 

 excellent light feed. It does not have as much digestible 

 protein as wheat bran but the total digestible nutrients in one 

 ton of corn bran are about 200 pounds greater than in wheat 

 bran. Corn bran used in a ration having plenty of protein 

 from other sources is a most excellent feed. 

 CORN GERM OIL MEAL 



Very little corn germ oil meal appears on the market. 

 Practically all of that corn germ meal which arises from corn 

 mills which extract the oil from the germ in the ordinary mill-
