Plywood dividers prevent ear sucking. Bedding should be used for warmth and comfort Since calves are tied, they cannot con tact manure. The stall is designed for feed ing from front or rear. Grain can be fed in a box under the hay rack which also catches the hay leaves. Or grain may be fed in a pail or basin in the pail holder. If feeding is from the front, allow an alley at least 3 feet wide, as well as a rear litter alley. Plywood front cut-outs are desirable for front feeding. If placed near a wall leave the stall at least 8 to 12 inches from the wall for waimth and do the feeding from the rear. Leave the front panel whole without the cut-outs. 702 698 675 If you are interested the plan No is 723-215 697 653 Liquid Protein Fe3ding Free choice feeding of liquid protein using various pinwheel or similar devices apparently is not as well adapted to feeding dairy cattle as other ruminants Intakes of supplements contain ing about 30% crude protein equivalent may average 2 to 3 pounds per head daily with most cows consuming close to the average for the herd. How ever, a few cows may not con sume any appreciable amounts and a few may consume as much as 12 pounds or more per head daily, especially dry cows. Whenever feasible, it would ap pear best to use alternative methods of feeding liquid sup plements, particularly if they are used as the primary means of providing protein supple mentation. Many dairymen using free choice liquid feeding do not rely on this as their only means of protein supplementa tion 697 696 696 692 690 690 684 690 688 684 683 668 683 667 683 682 682 681 672 Another method of utilizing liquid protein supplements is to include them into the concen trate mixture at a level of 5 to 10% of the mix as fed to the dairy cows In any case the levels used should keep the urea content of the mixture as fed at 15% or less in most situations 682 681 681 679 679 Feeding High Moisture Com To Dairy Cattle Advantages 679 679 1 Harvesting can be done 2 or 3 weeks earlier 677 2 There are less field, h al*“ vesting, and storage losses for 25-30% moisture corn than with normal air-dried corn 676 676 3 High moisture corn is usually ready to feed when re moved from storage or can be crushed as a part of the con tinuous feeding system, thus several rehandling operations are eliminated 676 674 673 670 671 4 This method of harvesting (Continued on Page 17) 13
