in lactation. Giving the feed
when it if needed has led to
dramatic increases in milk
production. Calhoun reported.
This is onr of the reasons for
challenge or lead feeding.
There aie problems, how*
ever, Calhoun admitted The
cow may gr off hei feed if
brought to full feed of con
centrates 100 quickly On the
other hand, if the cow is un
derfed *oo long after freshen
ing. the body reseives aie
drawn upon II the icserves
aie used up quickl}. produc
tion will go down Also, con
tinual underfeeding favois the
development of ketosis
Experience with cows giving
80 pounds 01 more milk per
day shows that it’s very diffi
cult to get these cows to eat
enough grain even with the
challenge feeding and good
quality roughage According to
Calhoun, one appioach to the
problem is to start feeding
grain before freshening so
that, by the tune the cow
freshens, a concentrate-feeding
level of 15 to 18 pounds per
day has been reached. This
conditions the cow to handle
large quantities of feed.
After calving, the level of
concentrates is increased as
quickly as possible to either
greatest ippetite oi greatest
milk yield, whichever is
reached fust Theieafter, the
concentrate level should be re
duced to the lowest level
which does not i educe the milk
yield A change in the amount
of feed usually show's up in the
milk yield within 30 hours.
Therefore, with close atten
tion, long periods of under
feeding or overfeeding can be
avoided
The most important single
point to remember in any feed
ing program is that each cow
is an individual; her habits and.
ability to handle feed may dif
fer from othei cows. A good
herdsman has to watch bis
cows closely and feed accord
ing to the appetites of indi
vidual cows, Calhoun stresses.
