Farmers' Bulletin Volume 76-100 (Paperback)


This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1898 edition. Excerpt: ...states that the well-cured hay is more nutritious than any hay produced from grass, millet, or any other plant used for the purpose, aud that one ton of it will last as long as a ton and a half of the best timothy. One hundred pounds of the green vines contain 60.4 pounds of total dry matter, of which 10 pounds are digestible. One hundred pounds of the hay contain 89.3 pounds of the total dry matter, of which 50.7 pounds are digestible. The digestible crnde protein in the hay amounts to 10.79 pounds in comparison with 10.58 for alfalfa, 10.49 for crimson clover, 6.58 for red clover, and 2.89 for timothy. The digestible carbohydrates and fat amount to 39.91 pounds in every 100 pounds of cowpea hay, 38.71 for alfalfa, 39.42 for crimson clover, 37.01 for red clover, and 45.15 for timothy. The average nutritive ratio of cowpea hay is 1:3.9; of alfalfa, 1:3.8; of crimson clover, 1:3.9; of red clover, 1:5.9; and of timothy, 1:16.2. The green cowpea vines are more succulent than red clover or any of the grasses, containing less dry matter per total weight. The feeding value of the hay is shown by the nutritive ratio which represents the relatiou of the digestible crnde protein to the carbohydrates and extract matter. Thus, for every pound of digestible crnde protein in cowpea hay there are 3.9 pounds of digestible carbohydrates and fat. In order to insure uniform growth of an animal and get the full feeding value of all the constituents of a forage, the ration must be properly balanced. The nutritive ratio of cowpea hay is narrower than can be properly utilized by the animal, and to get the full benefit of all the crnde protein in the plant, hay or coarse fodder containing an excess of the carbohydrates must be added to the daily ration.
