Hence one ton of pulp is equal to 200 pounds of corn. 
Owing to the bulky nature of the pulp not enough of it can be 
consumed by lambs to produce sufficient fat to finish them; hence 
it should be fed to the greatest extent at the commencement of 
feeding. 
What is fed in the latter part of the feeding period should be 
used as an appetizer and a regulator of the bowels rather than for 
the fat it produces. 
Pulp fed in large quantities produces a soft flesh. 
The matter of transportation is a very essential one for the 
farmer to consider in the utilization of pulp. For the profitable use 
the yards must be near the factory or to railway facilities. 
When large quantities of pulp are fed to animals confined in 
small lots the lots become very foul, much to the discomfort of the 
animals and loss to the feeder.
