N n w s AND NOTES
protein supplement containing 50 percent cull peas, ~o percent tankage, and 74 percent soybean oil meal, self.fed free choice with a mixture of barley and wheat, gained as rapidly as a
similar lot fed a supplement of 5o percent tankage, ~5 percent soybean oil meal, and 74 percent
linseed oil meal. The lot receiving cull peas used slightly less feed per cwt of gain. In I944,
rations containing cu!1 peas as the only protein supplement on Sudan grass pasture were
compared with rations supplemented with (i) a mixture of tankage, soybean oil meal, and lin.
seed oil meal and (~) soybean oil meal alone; both when self.fed free.choice with a mixture of
barley and wheat, and when complete mixed rations containing the same components were
self.fed. Under these pasture conditions, the cull pea rations promoted growth and fattening
at as rapid rates as did the rations containing protein from other sources.
