Agricultural Experiment StationBULLETIN NO. 283A TECHNICAL STUDY OF THEMAINTENANCE AND FATTENING OFSHEEP AND THEIR UTILIZATIONOF ALFALFA HAYBY H. H. MITCHELL, Mitchell, H. H. (Harold Hanson), 1886-1966 H. H. MITCHELL, W. G. KAMMLADE,AND T. S. HAMILTON,URBANA, ILLINOIS, DECEMBER, 1926WHILE the methods of study and the results secured in this in-vestigation are mainly of a technical nature, the sheep raiser willbe directly interested in several of the facts established:1. The feeding of alfalfa hay alone was continued for 133 dayswith six sheep and 308 days with six others, with no apparent indica-tions of harmful effects.2. Sixteen percent of the gain in live weight was due to "fill."3. A comparison of the results secured in this investigation withthe results secured in investigations with steers indicates that thesetwo species of animals are about equal in their ability to utilize themetabolizable (or available) energy of alfalfa hay in fattening.4. Approximately 2.3 pounds of alfalfa hay per day per 100pounds of live weight maintained ten- to fourteen-months-old westernlambs at constant weight for 133 days. Amounts greater than thismust be fed to allow for growth and fattening.5.
