Cottonseed Meal Is Good Protein Source Clemsou, July 17.?Recent experiments at the Poultry Department of the South Carolina Experiment Station here indicate that good quality cottonseed meal Is entirely satisfactory as a source of vegetable protein for growing chicks and pullets, according to Dr. R. C. Itingrose, assistant poultry husbandman of the station. "Since the protein supplement is one of the most expensive ingredients in poultry, mashes," says Dr. Ringrose, "the poultryman is always interested in sources of this nutrient which are less costly. As animal protein supplements generally cost more than the vegetable protein supplements, the cost of the ration can generally be lowered by using a combination of equal parts of protein from animal and vegetable sources. Hence the importance of these tests with cottonseed meal. "In these experiments," Dr. Ringrose explains, "cottonseed meal was used to replace one-half the meat scrap protein in the ration. At the end of eight weeks the White Leghorn chicks on the meat scrap and cottonseed meal ration averaged 1.3 pounds and those on the meat scrap ration averaged 1.2 pounds. "As a general rule It Is not advisable to replace more than one-half the animal proteins with those from vegetable sources."
