the protein requirements.”
Research figures showed, he
said, that income over feed cost
was higher when a combina
tion of corn silage, grass silage
and hay, was used than when
any of the three was used as
the only forage.
Dr E M. Kesler, also of ths
dairy department of the Uni
versity, citing other experi
ments, said, “On the basis of
research, we can not recom
mend going higher than two
pounds of grain to one pound
of hay for dairy cows.”
He said every cow on the
excessive gram ration m the
experiment had digestive or
udder troubles.
Dr. Adams, in speaking
about commercial veal produc
tion, said “Disease is the big
problem, and there is no good
way of controlling disease.”
He said experiments have
shown that veal calves can
make a return of more than
$2O per head when produced on
an acceptable milk replacer.
This compared with an average
loss of more than a dollar a
head for calves on whole milk
