Feed value reference.

[Lbass]

Thinking about buying a copy of "Livestock Feeds and Feeding"
Looks to be a text book. Any other recommendations for a reference material to different grain and hay feeding values including protein and TDN for everything from cottonseed hulls, alfalfa, fescue, or wheat mids.

"Animal feeding and nutrition" was the other book. Couldnt remember the name.

I know everything is done online these days, but I like text books.

Had one of Dad's old ones from the 1940s interesting to see changes on how to do things
from then to now. We used 'the red book' 25 years ago for dairy nutrition.
I'm not up to date on current Livestock Feeding text books, but would think any with current
publishing date would be good for learning and using.
