Alternative Sources of Protein
for Beef Cattle
Protein costs can approach 50%
of total feed costs in beef cattle
diets. In the past few weeks the
cost of soybean meal, a principal
component of protein supple
ments for cattle, has risen in cost
mote than $l5O per ton. This has
resulted in a sizeable increase in
total feeding costs. However,
there are alternative sources of
protein for cattle diets. These
include whole cottonseed, cot
