Responses of Southern Range Cattle to Protein Supplementation

Reproductive performance of range cows receiving 312 lb of cottonseed cake between November 1 and March 31 equaled that of cows receiving 432 lb fed from October through May, or 555 lb fed throughout the year. High-treatment cows were consistently heavier than those receiving medium or low rations. Cows fed the low ration were highest in plasma vitamin A, but other blood constituents were unaffected.This material was digitized as part of a cooperative project between the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.The Journal of Range Management archives are made available by the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.
