MILKING RATIONS

ADDED VITAMIN
Cardboard foxidized) flavor Is the single most Impor
tant flavor problem in milk. It alienates consumers, irritates
milk plant operators and in severe cases causes
direct economic losses to dairymen. Fortunately it can be
prevented with an effective antioxidant.
• Supplemental vitamin B is that antioxidant
• All Beacon milking rations are now fortified with
10,000 or more units of supplemental vitamin B per ion
Feeding of 50 units of vitamin E per cow per day has
been effective in preventing the problem. Beacon milking
rations, fed at 10 lbs. per day or higher, will provide the
50 unit level or more.
Don't risk your markets or your money. Let Beacon
dairy rations help you eliminate the cardboard flavor
problem from your farm.

• Cow Numbers
(Continued fi’om Page 1)
what better in Lancaster
County than in the state as
a whole. The latest June
survey shows we lost about
700 cows since the first of
the year, and about 1400
since the first of last year.
That represents approxi
mately a two percent reduc
tion in county cow numbers
between January 1, 1965 and
June, 1966.
The reporting sendee said
that pnor to 1964, reduction
of cow numbers was more
titan offset by increased pro
duction per cow Since that
time, however, this no longer
holds ti ue, despite the fact
that individual cow production
continues its annual increase.
Total milk production in the
•state during the first sax
months of this year was down
•about 15 percent from the
same period last year
The survey also showed that
the number of commercial
herds in the state was con
tinuing its downward trend.
In 1950, there were 51,400
commercial herds; in 1955, 45,-
700, in 1960, 36,300; and at
the beginning of 1966, 25,000
herds The number estimated
for June, 1966 was 23,500.
It seems apparent from
these figures that another
trend, that of increasing herd
size, is also still very much,
in evidence Dairymen in Lan
caster County, and in the state,
continue to add cows to their
herds.
A major factor contributing
to the overall declane in cow
farms in Pennsylvania, said
ithe reporting service, has been
the sustained drought condi
tion, now stretching into the
fifth year. Also, the incentive
to dispose of uneconomic maSk
cows due to favorable beef
prices continues. Add to these
factors the problems of labor
shortages and low milk
prices, and you’ve pretty well
covered the reasons accounting
for declining cow numbers,
the Crop Reporting Service
concluded.
