Feeding PrickIy Pear to Stock.

Feeding PrickIy Pear to Stock.
a bulletin by the United States De
partment of Agriculture, Bureau OF
Animal Industries, contains notes on
the forms of prickly pear and gives
the results of feeding tests with cows
and steers. The method of feeding this
plant was that commonly employed up
on ranches in Southern Texas, where
the experiments were conducted.
In tests with two cows prickly pear
was compared with sorghum hay. The
complete data, including weather OBJ
seryations are reported. "A full rough.
age ration of pear with a constant
grain ration appears to yield fully as
good results as full roughage ration
of sorghum hay. The records are really
little more favorable to the pear ra-
ton" The pricl1ly pear ration, includ-
ing twelve pounds of rice bran and
three pounds of cottonseed meal, cost
1906 cents per cow daily. This allowed
for the labor and gasoline required in
smuggling the cactus. 1t is stated that
prickly pear has been fed to a dairy
herd for two to four months each year
for six or eight years with no COM
plant from customers which could in
any way be attributed to pear feeding.
A lot Of twenty-seven steers was kept
in a four-acre feeding lot and fed
chopped prickly pear with cottonseed
meal. The largest and most woody
plants available were selected, chopped
without smuggling, and fed in troughs
early in the morning and about the
middle of the afternoon. The cotton
seed meal was sprinkled on the chopped
prickly pear. The average daily gain
in the 1O5 days Of the test was LIS
pounds per head, 55.O3 pounds of prick
ly pear and 2.5 pounds Of cottonseed
meal, at total cost of 3.4S cents, being
required per pound of gain. When
shipped to market the average shrink.
age per steer was $50 pounds.
