Unlimited Feeding Of Dairy Cows
May Not Be Most Economical Plan
Unlimited teeding ot all dai-

not piofitable, a U S Depait-

can Danv Science Association
•which is meeting at Purdue
Unn ei sitv.
In studies at Beltsnlle, Alcl
IVTi Hooien and Di Ronald D
Plowman found that a gioup ot
cows unlimited teed piodueed
about the same amount ot milk
as “h gioup ted a conn oiled

leed gained inoie weight, and
com ei ted teed to milk less effi
ciently
The A.RS tlaiiv husbandmen
studied two gioups ot cows
dining then second lactations
The cows selected loi this test
had piodufed neai ly the same
amount of milk during their
fiist lactation when fed rations
that met their
tor maintenance and pi educ
tion
During this test one group
was ted an unlimited lation

at a rate 10 percent highei
than a standard lation —Morri-
