WHOLE COTTONSEED

A valuable by-product of cotton, whole cottonseed makes its journey from the Cotton Belt to the dairies across the United States. Whole cottonseed is an excellent feed ingredient for cattle, especially lactating cows. The high level of energy (fat), protein, and effective fiber in whole cottonseed has the potential to increase milk production and butterfat when added to the ration... Dairy producers everywhere are feeding whole cottonseed (WCS) to boost milk production and butterfat, especially in the diet of the early-lactation cow. Often referred to as a "triple-nutrient" supplier, WCS uniquely delivers a high level of energy (fat), protein, and effective fiber in each fuzzy seed.
