Quarryville STerling 6-2191 New Liquid Protein Supplement Makes Rumen Bacteria Work Harder Cattle feeders and dairymen in the Southeastern Pennsyl vania area this week are being introduced to a new feed sup plerpcnt called Morea While supplements are fairly common these days, this one has some unusual featuies not seen before in the East First of all, it is a liquid, designed to be fed free choice Secondly, it is designed to make the lumen bacteria more active in producing ammo acids, proteins, carbohydrates and oth er materials, rather than simply supplementing the pioduction of the rumen bacteria. » THE UNUSUAL FEATURE of Morea is that fact that it con tains ethyl alcohol But the alcohol, present in relatively low concentration, is not used to sup ply the animal with energy Its purpose is to provide the proper chemical enviornment in the rumen for the most effectiv'e use of uiea and other feed ingredi ents. It is used specifically to pro mote the metabolism of rumen microorganisms Which, in turn, provide necessary nourishment to the animal THE PROCESS WAS develop ed by Philip C. Anderson and Janet L C Rapp of Feed Serv ice Corp, Crete, Neb This com pany has licensed U. S Indus trial Chemicals to manufacture the product for distribution in the East The premix is then combined with molasses by the dealer to make the finished product. The dealer in this area is Hespen heide and Thompson, Inc , York, a 38-year old feed manufacturing firm. The feed as the farmer will receive it is 67 per cent mo lasses, 10 per cent urea, six per cent alcohol, three per cent phos phoric acid, four per cent trace minerals and vitamins, and 10 per cent water THE LIQUID supplement, de livered to the farm bulk tank by truck, is used to feed live stock, dairy cattle and sheep. It is used not only to supplement the feeding of low cost rough- ummm.

The critical factor heie is the amount of urea con sumed, since the animal tends to maintain, on a dry-weight basis, a two per cent mtiogen (equivalent to a i 2 5 per cent protein level in the rumen As a result, the average animal will consume only about two pounds of tha supplement a day. THIS LIMITATION on intake eliminates the possibility of un toward effects from the alcohol (intoxication or dizziness, tor example) The ethyl alcohol is completely metabolized in the rumen It never builds ,up to a high enough concentration to en ter the blood stream Thus far the greatest demand for the supplement has been in Nebraska, lowa and Illinois. The Yor kfirm is the first dealership to be established in Pennsyl- vania Pretests of the supplement have been earned out on several Southeastern Pennsylvania farms. Among those participating in the tests were John Neff, Lancaster County; Bernie Norris, Thad Owings and Luther Shaull, all of York County. in' v « * K * ;' > FOR ANY FARM PURPOSE MADE THE FARMER’S WAY Lancaster Production L Credit Ass’n. gj|/ 411 W.
