	cottonseed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Cottonseed contains abundant amounts of energy and is also a very good source of protein.
		Whole cottonseed is low in calcium content and thus the mineral being fed should contain adequate quantities of calcium.
		Thus in Alabama, bull infertility as a result of cottonseed consumption appears to be a minor problem.

	Cottonseed oil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cottonseed oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the cotton plant after the cotton lint has been removed.
		Cottonseed oil has no cholesterol and is very low in trans fatty acids.
		Along with soybean oil, cottonseed oil is very often partially or fully hydrogenated.

		Cottonseed hulls are a valuable source of roughage for ruminant feeds and fiber for monogastric rations.
		Cottonseed meal solvent extracted is produced by forcing the cottonseed kernel initially through an expander and then using solvent to extract most of the oil.
		Cottonseed hulls are an exceptional roughage with a high level of effective fiber and are very palatable.

		Cottonseed meal is used principally as feed for livestock and is usually sold at a 41% protein level.
		Cottonseed meal usage depends on conditions under which livestock are being fed. On the farm and in the feedlot, meal may be mixed with grains, roughages, and other feed ingredients that are available.
		Cottonseed linters, the short fibers removed from seed as the first step in processing, are sometimes referred to as "the fabulous fuzz." Through mechanical or chemical conversion, they enter a wider variety of end use products than any of the other products of cottonseed.

	Burkmann Basics Online: Whole Cottonseed for Dairy Rations
		The protein content of whole cottonseed is similar to that of the 20% pellets and intermediate to that of corn and soybean meal.
		Cottonseed works best when mixed with other feeds and hand-fed. The most common method is to hand or machine mix the seed with corn silage or other succulent forages.
		Cottonseed can be mixed in the grain ration but does not grind well and when left whole makes a bulky feed which can reduce feed intake per minute.

	GM cottonseed could counter malnutrition, claim researchers
		Cottonseed is a protein rich by-product of the textile industry, around 1.65kg of which is left over for every 1kg of cotton fibre.
		The researchers, led by Keerti Rathore, used RNA interference to disrupt gossypol biosynthesis in cottonseed tissue, by interfering with the expression of the d-cadinene synthase gene during seed development.
		At present, as much as 50 per cent of cottonseed from the US is used by the food industry, but only after it has been processed to remove the gossypol from the oil.

		Cottonseed, which is separated from cotton lint in the ginning process, is considered a separate crop because of its distinctive uses and economic importance.
		The processing of cottonseed was one of the earliest large-scale industries to be established in Texas.
		As research advanced, the usefulness of cottonseed meal in horse and swine feed was also demonstrated, while later in the twentieth century progress was made toward adapting it for poultry feed.

	Cottonseed Protein: From Farmers to Your Family Table - Medgadget - www.medgadget.com
		Gossypol is a toxic compound that occurs throughout the cotton plant and protects it from pests.
		Rathore said the "beauty of this project" is that the gossypol has been reduced only in the cottonseed -- where the high levels of protein are packed -- but not in the rest of the plant where the compound serves as a defense against insects and disease.
		This enabled them to target the gossypol gene only in the cottonseed but let the gene express itself in the rest of the plant.

		Approximately 5 percent of the total seed crop is reserved for planting; the remainder is used for feeding as whole seeds or as raw material for the cottonseed processing industry.
		After being separated from the lint at the gin, the cotton’s seed is transported to a cottonseed crushing mill.
		There it is cleaned and conveyed to delinting machines which, operating on the same principle as a gin, remove the remaining short fibers which are known as linters.

	Cottonseed Hull Based Diets for Calves and Heifers
		Cottonseed hulls are an excellent source of "effective" fiber and can have the associative effect of increasing dry matter intake.
		The level of 30% cottonseed hulls provides an amount of fiber which limits intake due to rumen fill and is low enough in energy content to avoid overfeeding of energy.
		This is a period where the amount of cottonseed hulls needs to be transitional from 30% up to 75% of the ration so that ad libitum intake of the TMR provides proper amounts of energy.

	Feeding cottonseed meal to female fallow deer safe at low rates
		This is assuming the cottonseed meal is produced by a chemical extraction process followed by mechanical extrusion..
		Because they are cheap, high energy feedstuffs, whole cottonseed and cottonseed meal are commonly fed to both free-ranging and ranched deer, particularly in West Texas where cottonseed is particularly cheap and plentiful and grazing is at best spartan.
		Randel noted that although the study indicates cottonseed meal can be safely included in rations for both male and female deer, careful consideration must be given not only to the amount but the source of the cottonseed meal.

	An Update on Fuzzy Cottonseed (Illini DairyNet)
		The linter (fuzzy portion of the seed) causes the seed to float and be caught in the rumen or hay mat.
		If the fuzzy cottonseed is ground or pelleted causing the seed coat to be broken or fiber physically changed, the fuzzy cottonseed will lose it "magic" and function (similar to ground soybeans).
		A third processing method is to roll the fuzzy cottonseed to mechanically break the seed coat, but not grind the seed (pre-chewing the seed for the cow).
