We are experimenting with some feeds that we are making ourselves. I have a couple of questions. One feed is shelled corn, cotton seed meal, candy, minerals, and calcium. The next mixture is the same combination just less corn and add gin trash as the replacement. The feed without the gin trash looks and smells a lot better than the feed with gin trash. (This question is for argument purposes by the way so i need some good points) I would say we have seen some, i wouldnt say scoured, but more runny than normal poop when feeding the feed without gin trash. Does the gin trash as roughage help them digest better and keep them from having the runs? How does that work in the rumen? Both groups have had free choice decent quailty hay. You would think we could feed the feed without gin trash and be okay becuase of the free choice hay as roughage but that doesnt seem to be the case.
