# Cotton byproduct may fit in feedlot diets

> Oklahoma State University researchers reported a feedlot trial in which 64 crossbred steers were fed diets with 15% whole cottonseed and 7% gin trash in place of wet corn gluten feed. Cotton-fed steers tended to be heavier at final weight, at p=0.09. The study was presented at the American Society of Animal Science annual meeting, and the authors said greater cotton production is increasing the supply of byproducts.
