The supplement was fed from October 1 to March 2 to 48 range ewes. The average daily intake per ewe ranged from 0.073 pound cottonseed meal and 0.058 pound salt to 0.347 pound cottonseed meal and 0.116 pound salt. Lamb production, wool production and ewe weights gave no indication of adverse effects due to the large salt intake.  aAnimal feeding  aCottonseed  aEwes  aFeed supplements  aSheep1 aTORELL, D.
