a group of cows an artificial
diet of purified carbohydrates;
urea and ammonium sails as
sources of nitrogen; a mineral
mixture containing vitamins
A and D, and later also E;
and a little corn oil.
Milk from the cows on this
diet contains the same nutri
ents fat, nonfat solids, sug
ar, and proteins as milk
from cows on normal feed.
Altogether, six cows were
on the test. Their milk yield
reaches nearly the average
level of Ayrshire cows in
Scandinavian countries. Their
calves are normal, and meat
from the calves is of quality
equal to that of cows on nor
mal feeding. The calves them
selves have been fed the ar
14 TEST COW FEED
This feed has a course granular texture. It's ideal as an all
purpose herd feed to be fed as it comes from the bag to
milking cows, dry cows, calves, and bulls. Remember, it is
EXCELLENT FOR FEEDING DURING WARM PERIODS.
Try Red Rose 14 Test-Cow Fee'd . . . and you'll use it always.

tificial diet, and have shown
good gains.
Virtanen says, "Our studies
have shown that the most im
portant flavor compounds of
milk are formed in the cow.”
He is determining to what ex
tent milk flavors come from
synthesis within the cow and
ttf what extent they come from
feed. “Milk flavors can be
classified into two groups:
those transferred from feed
to milk by way of the diges
tive route qf the cow and
those which -are formed in the
cow in .the rumen and in
the liver or mammary gland—
from carbohydrates, amino or
fatty acids, -and other chemi
cal compounds in the feed,”
the scientist says.

tries and In his own labora
tory had convinced Virtanen
that it would be possible to
develop in cows, by gradually
changing their feed, a rumen
microbial population capable,
to a greater degree than nor
mal, of using nitrogen fiom
urea and ammonium to syn
thesize the essential ammo
acids which are the chief com
ponents of protein. He has
now proved this to be true.
Cows in his trials had their
normal feed gradually taken
away from them and the ar
tificial feed gradually added
while they were dry or becom
ing dry.
As the experiment has gone
on, Virtanen has increased the
daily poition of nitrogen in
the feed. As he has done so,
milk production has increased

Here is the feed
you need
for your herd!
Today’s dairy farmers need a high
energy feed vitamin-fortified and
palatable to maintain the herd,
encourage maximum milk produc
tion, help produce calves, and be
adaptable to milk parlor feeding.
Yet, this feed must be free-flowing
and easily handled . , . and return a
good profit.
RED ROSE 14 TEST-COW FEED is
that kind of dairy feed. It’s made of
high quality grains and proteins,
high in fat, minerals, and digestible
nutrients. Test-Cow Feed is very
palatable, can be fed at all seasons,
and is an excellent feed to keep
appetites from lagging during warm
days of summer.
