Twice a month Mannish takes a sample of milk from each tank to be tested lor anti biotics. “This problem is nine! less severe than it was a fev years ago,” he says. Twice a month also, he sam pies the milk for sediment. An instrument with a plunger ar rangement draws a quantity o. milk liom the tank and forcei it through a small filter disc. The disc is enclosed in a plastic container and returned to the laboratory where at is compared to a standard chart, and the report is seiu to-each producer with his milk check.

Cows love grass, too. But here are two tips from Burma’s dairy experts that may put dollars in your pocket: 1, Don’t lean too hard on grass alone. Remember grass is about 85% water and only about 15% dry matter. It’s a good idea to feed a little hay every day; right through the summer. 2. Don’t slack off grain feeding. Even though grass actually stimulates milk flow, the surge won’t last long unless cows are getting adequate amounts of high energy grain rations. For this job, we recom mend Cow Chow D, the high efficiency milking ration, fed according to individual production. Both of these tips make sense from a nutritional stand point. And both of them are sound as the extra dollars many dairymen get from more milk produced by following this sensible feeding plan. S. H. Hiestand & Co.
