peanut hulls

[skyhightree1]

Has anyone ever fed peanut hulls before?

YES, Feeding a Pellet right now made of them. we have fed loose and used it as filler when we used to grind our own feed.

A friend of mine got a contract to buy all the peanut hulls from some plant and I got some cows eat it but the calves don't. I did mix it with some corn gluten meal pellets and they ate it but weren't happy about it. I am thinking of mixing it with the brewers grain or make it hogs feed. He got 500 bags and is due to go back and get more in a week.

best way is to grind it with corn and ad a bag or two of dried molasses per mill.

Im curious what he is paying for bags. We always just took empty pnut wagons to the mill and they filled them up for like 40 bucks

Like "Dash" said, mix them with something. Peanut hulls are little more than filler. Some will be guaranteed as high as 8% crude protein (got a few goobers still it them) but are only about 20% digestible so digestible protein will be less than 2%. But they'll be full. :lol:

I worked on a dairy in highschool that used them to bed tie stalls. They must've got em pretty cheap.

Interesting we live in MN so no peanut hulls. But if it works for you and they like it great!! Joe

Cheap is about all you can say good about them. Almost no protein and almost totally undigestible.

Lol yea I won't be getting anymore of them
