This probably isn't a complete list, but:

Cotton seed meal
Linseed meal
Soy bean meal
~~~~~~~~~~~
There's also:

Alfalfa meal

All four have slightly different N-P-K values in the ballpark of 6-3-2, 5-2-4, etc. I'm pretty sure that soy bean meal has the most Nitrogen of the group, but it costs a few bucks more per 30 or 40 lb bag.

I have been told to avoid feed which has had medication added to it, so I suggest making sure you're getting unprocessed stuff.

The big bags are definitely the way to go......the most bang for your buck.
