Heifers at USDA’s Agricul tural Research Center, Belts ville, Md., were raised suces sfully to calving time on 370 pounds of whole milk, 400 to 500 pounds of grain, and all the good alfalfa hay they wanted. Substituting silage for hay caused lower feed consumpt ion, lower rate of gain, low er weight at calving, and sli ghtly lower milk and butter - fat production during first lactation. Production and body Wei ght equalized as the cows be came older. Production was the same during the second lactation for animals reared on silage and those reared on hay. Body weight was equa lized by the fifth, sixth or se venth year of age Supplementing th silage with a pound of hay daily for every 10 pounds of animal weight or with two pounds f grain daily produced hel pers only slightly smaller th an those on hay alone. s A Messa Poultrym - Do you know that the feed manufacturers who .are going into the poultry business by contracting with the poultry man on a commission basis are partly responsible for your severely depressed egg prices?
