Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba) is a winter annual oilseed crop
native to the Pacific Coast states. Seven experiments were conducted
to evaluate extracted meadowfoam meal (MFM) as a feedstuff
for poultry, rabbits and sheep.
Three experiments were conducted to evaluate MFM as a protein
supplement for broiler chicks and weanling rabbits....
Several experiments involving broilers and laying hens
were conducted with the primary goal of evaluating the
feeding value of Canola meal (CM) in both broiler and
laying hen rations. A secondary goal was to study the
growth response of broilers receiving higher
concentrations of CM in their starter diets to...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of site
potential, season and plant part on percent crude protein, percent
digestibility of dry matter and yield of cereal residues. Three cereal
types, club wheat (Triticum aestivum) tall, bearded wheat (T.
aestivum), and barley Hordeum vulgare) were examined.

A study was conducted during 1975 and 1976 to evaluate
the use of chemically cured pasture as a flushing feed for
ewes in western Oregon.
In 1975 (0.56 kg/ha) and 1976 (0.28 kg/ha) paraquat
was used to chemically cure hill pasture forage when perennial
ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and tall...
Two studies were conducted to compare lamb feedlot
performance and digestibility of nutrients by lambs fed
rations containing bird-resistant and bird-susceptible
sorghum grain with 20 or 40% tall fescue hay as a source
of roughage.
Four rations were fed ad libitum on the performance
study and at 80% of ad...
A series of experiments were conducted to determine
the utilization of fibrous feeds by the rabbit. A review
of literature was performed to ascertain the results of
similar studies. The first two experiments involved
various levels of alfalfa substituted for corn or barley.
Results indicated that a 50 percent alfalfa...
