[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 1384246, member: 6897"] Gossypol is not nearly the problem it once was but still exists in all cotton. Upland cotton which is the primary cotton planted in the US has much less gossypol than Pima cotton. Upland is the normal fuzzy seed we seed but Pima is typically delinted (either mechanically or with acid) and sold as cracked or fine ground whole cottonseed. Gossypol will run 50% higher in Pima cottonseed. Cottonseed meal seldom has any real measurable amount of gossypol nor does cottonseed hulls but all are subject to being high in aflatoxin depending on growing conditions. Don't know that I've ever seen a cow even get sick from gossypol poisoning let alone die but it still exists. [/QUOTE]
