Show CLOVER AND SOY BEANS FOR LAMBS red bed clover and soy benn bean bay compared in recent experiments conducted at the iowa agricultural experiment station ames which show allow that it if soy boy bean hay bay can be produced at a sufficiently low cost it may be used satisfactorily lly in place of red cloner cloer in the ration of fattening lambs the result obtained however varied considerably between the various lots fed on a basis N w here bere clover hay was figured at SIG 16 per ton whole soy bean hay bay proved in one lot to be worth per ton while in a similar lot it lasworth was worth only 1375 a ton the two lots showed an average value of 2289 per ton of whole soy bean hay as compared to 10 tor for the alie clover soy bean apan hay has proved in these experiments peri ments to have a somewhat higher feeding value than clover when fed along alone with shelled corn cottonseed meal corn silage and block salt less of the other feeds was required per hundred pounds of 0 gain in three out of the four soy bean bay fed lots as compared to the clover lot good leafy soy bean hay with a high percentage of matured beans ig known to contain more protein than red clover hay and hence when the alie former Is fed less protein supplements need to be added to the fattening lamb ration the results are reported in a new dew bullet bulletin tri soy aern le n hay tor for fattening lambs no ko which may be secured by writing to the bulletin section allies iowa the authors of the bulletin are john M evvard C 0 culbertson Culber IV 13 hammond ammond II and K K denness Uen ness mure ilore than a fifth of the soy bean hay bay fed to the lambs was refused when was fed whole with one group of lambs the hay was ground and mixed with the grain feed in tills this case the lambs were forced to eat all of the hay but because they were forced to eat tile the portion contal containing nin so much fiber the feeding value of the file hay was lowered and the lambs made less profit than did the others in another tot lot the hay was ground and fed separately but tile the selling price gains and margins did not warrant the expense of grinding the experiments showed clearly that grinding did not pay |
