Use of Equivalent Levels of Antibiotic and Vitamin B12 Supplements With Cottonseed and Soybean Oil Meals in Chick Diets

Cottonseed Meal for Poultry: from Research to Practical Application

“…Deyoe et al, (1960) demonstrated that in combinations with fish meal and soybean meal, the amount of cottonseed meal could be doubled from 11 to 22 per cent without significantly decreasing chick weight gains. Lewis and Sanford (1953) demonstrated that chicks performed better on rations containing cottonseed meal, fish meal, meat scraps and soybean meal than when the protein supplements were cottonseed meal, fish meal and meat scraps or cottonseed meal and soybean meal. Combs and Nicholson (1962) reported superior broiler results from combinations of cottonseed meal, soybean meal, fish meal and peanut meal over those obtained when the soybean meal was removed from the ration.…”

“…Increased gains have resulted when cottonseed meal-containing rations have been supplemented with vitamin Biz (Blaylock and Richardson, 1950;Sherwood and Couch, 1950;Patrick, 1953), antibiotics such as penicillin and aureomycin (Patrick, 1953) or combinations of antibiotics and vitamin Biz (Lewis and Sanford, 1953 ;Machlin et al, 1952). On the other hand, Machlin et al.…”

Cottonseed Meal as a Substitute for Soybean Oil Meal in Poultry Rations ,

“…These investigations further indicated that if cottonseed meal could be processed properly, the protein quality would be similar or equal to that of soybean oil meal. Lewis and Sanford (1953) reported that screwpressed cottonseed meal supported satisfactory growth when included at a level of 15 percent in practical-type chick diets. Patrick (1953) obtained better chick growth with solvent than with hydraulic cottonseed meal, using an all-vegetable diet.…”
