Product 8: MEAT AND BONE MEAL Details: Meat and bone meal is the
dried and rendered product from mammal tissues. It does not contain
horn, hair, hide trimmings, manure, stomach contents, added blood
meal or poultry by-product. The calcium content should not be more
than 2.2 times the phosphorus content. A calcium content higher
than this indicates additional calcium from a source other than
bone. The protein in meat and bone meal is degraded relatively
slowly in rumen. Meat bone meal can be fed as a protein source. It
may be included in the grain mix at a rate of up to 5 percent or
fed at up to 1 ½ pounds (0.*8 kg) per cow per day. It is not very
palatable and should be introduced into the ration gradually.
