HORSES SHOULD be taught to eat cottonseed 

 meal by giving them a very small quantity at 

 first, about one-quarter of a pound a day, and gradu- 

 ally increasing it as the animal becomes accustomed 

 to the taste and odor of the meal. 



Cottonseed meal must be fed with care to horses. 

 If fed in large quantities it may result in serious 

 digestive disorders and even death in some instances. 



One pound of cottonseed meal per 1,000 pounds 

 live weight is the safest and most satisfactory quan- 

 tity to feed. Some horses will consume more with 

 satisfactory results, but it is not advisable to exceed 

 this limit. 



To obtain best results, cottonseed meal should be 

 fed by thoroughly mixing with ground grains. Only 

 bright, high-grade meal should be used.
