A 400-pound calf on a mam tamance ration (not gaining weight) does all right on as little as 0 3 pound of digestible protein daily for as long as six months, according to experiments at CSDA’s Agricultural Research enter, Beltsville. This cuts m half previous recommended minimum allowances for wintering calves Along with the protein, of course, cattle must get enough calories to maintain body weight This is three pounds of TDN (tot al digestible nutrients) daily for a 400 pound calf Recommended protein allow ance set up by the National Re search Council for a 400-pound glowing calf is 0 9 pound a day for a daily gam 1.6 pounds Under winter range conditions 0 7 pound ol piotein a day is suggested for a daily gain of one pound.

TIRE DEALER is the lowest protein allowance re commended for calves so far by the Council ARS research shows that under some conditions, how ever, calves can get along on less. Protein supplements are expen sive Beef produceis forced to winter calves on skimpy rations need to know exactly how much protein is enough for mainten ance Whether or not a cattleman chooses to feed for winter gains or for maintenance will probably depend on his estimate of profits from each management method. This study by ARS animal phy siologist C F Winchester and co workers follows two other studies using identical twins beef calves. Growth of calves six to 12 months old was interrupted for six month v/ith no ill effects when diets in cluded enough protein, carotene, and minerals Animals recovered quickly and profitably. These scientists later showed that animals three to four months old could lose weight temporari ly on low-calone 'Winter forage and still recover to make good gams and good beef Extra Big Savings Now!
