WCS Improves Dairy Rations

By Berrye Worsham|February 14, 2012

Dairymen nationwide use your whole cottonseed (WCS) in feed rations.

But why do they choose WCS? In trial after trial, WCS has been proven to increase both milk production and fat when it is added into the ration of dairy cows.

Compared to other commonly available protein supplements, WCS is the only feedstuff with added high energy and high fiber. This combination is especially attractive when feeding high producing, early lactating dairy cows in need of both energy and fiber. The energy content of WCS also makes it a valuable addition for cows with a reduced appetite.

WCS is recognized as a cost-effective “triple-nutrient” offering: High protein (23%), high energy in the form of fat (20%), and crude fiber (25%). Through its Website, www.wholecottonseed.com, Cotton Incorporated provides this and a great deal of other information to dairy cattle operators to increase the demand for your cottonseed.
