Cottonseed cake as a source of by-pass protein for dairy cows.
Cottonseed cake has relatively low rumen degradability and is therefore a good source of bypass protein for dairy cows. Despite its high nutritional value, cottonseed cake contains gossypol, a phenolic compound that can cause intoxication, liver damage and reproductive problems in animals. Interestingly, ruminants can detoxify free gossypol by converting it into bound gossypol in the rumen, thereby impeding its absorption into the blood. Therefore, cottonseed cake has shown promise as a plant protein substitute in dairy cow diets.
