PRINCIPAL. FACTO
Economical
Good Roughage This Is 4he greatest single fact<
onomical milk production.
Roughage of proper quality meets 75% of the
quirements for maintenance and milk production,
Note: This emphasizes the need for Dairymen to
trate: their efforts on production 'of good rougl
Feed the individual cow to meet her-requirements
not feed the herd-cm a unit.
For instance:; A. cow producing 35 lbs. of milk needs:
If the herd is fed uniformly rqther than on an in'dv
basis the low producing animal will get too much fe#
waste it, or the'high producers -will not eat enoughs
erly sustain production,.
A practical program of weighing milk and feed
quiied to establish the proper quantity of feed fores
dividual cow.
