40# COTTON SEED HULLS

Cottonseed hulls are the fibrous outer layers of cotton seeds, a byproduct of oil extraction, used mainly as a high-fiber roughage for cattle (beef & dairy) to add bulk and aid digestion, and sometimes as a soil conditioner/mulch in gardens for moisture retention. They are low in protein/energy but palatable for ruminants, helping maintain feed integrity and support healthy rumen function, often mixed with other feeds or used as a stand-alone roughage where forages are scarce. Uses & Benefits Ruminant Feed: Excellent source of fiber for cattle, sheep, and goats, especially when good forage is lacking. Digestive Health: Adds bulk to dense rations, preventing digestive upsets and supporting fat tests in low-roughage diets. Feed Integrity: Helps bind vitamin, mineral, and protein mixes, preventing separation. Garden/Landscape: Used as mulch or soil amendment to improve aeration and retain soil moisture. Industrial: Used in manufacturing plastics, furfural, and oil drilling mud.
