Beacon (tat been providing Beacon, feeders with a
free forage analyst service for over nine years. Thou- ■
sands of samples have passed through the Beacon lab
oratory in that time. A review of the analyses of these
samples and the grain feeding recommendation re
sulting from them, show this service both helps to boost
milk production and lower feed cost per hundred
weight of milk produced.
Here i* a specific-example from the Beacon files.
Both farms were feeding the same kind and amounts
of rougage. But look at the difference in grain required
when the feeding value of the hay and silage was
analyzed; _____
TON From
Roughage
No, Per Cow Daily Grain Monthly Grain
Cows Per Day Per Cow* Entire Herd*
Farm #1 75 15 lbs.
Farm #2 75 19 lbs.
* For Body M«inl«n*nc» and to sustain 45 lbs, Av. Daily Milk.
Both dairymen profited from the roughage analysis.
Dairyman #1 learned that the 17 lbs. level of grain
feeding was needed to promote milk production up to
the inherited potential of his herd. As against the
same roughage program, dairyman #2 learned he
could cut back his grain an average of 5 lbs. per cow
day and still get the same amount of milk while
saving the expense of 5Va tons of feed per
month.
Whether you are feeding hay and corn silage, com
silage as the sole-roughage, or haylage or some
other combination of the three - analysis of your for
age can help you feed your cows more profitably. For

analysis service on your farm, why not call us today?
