Attention County Faculty:
Please remember that commodity feeds do not come with a guaranteed nutrient analysis. Storage and handling costs will often offset savings derived from commercial feed/supplement replacement. All faculty interested in up-to-date information on commodity feeds should obtain a copy of:
