This short video explains how cotton seed in cattle feed reduces waste and provides nutritional value.
Gil Daigneau, a Florida farmer and the founder of Go Natural Education, highlights how cows don’t just eat grass and corn — they also consume whole cottonseed, a byproduct of cotton harvesting. This practice:
- Reduces agricultural waste by repurposing cottonseed that would otherwise be discarded.
- Provides high nutritional value, especially protein, fat, and fiber, which supports healthy cattle growth and milk production.
- Demonstrates circular agriculture, where one industry’s byproduct becomes another’s resource.
The video emphasizes the importance of integrating sustainable feed practices into livestock management and encourages broader awareness of how cattle diets can support environmental goals.
