With the new forage testing
abilities, Ace also expressed
concern that much of the pro
tein (60 per cent) available in
corn silage is in the same form
as Urea used in gram feeds
Urea is fine to feed to cows,
but you can get too much of it
You must take into considera
tion the total ration (forage
and short-feed) when deciding
how much to use,” he said
A higher silage program
multiplies youi vitamin defi
ciency according to the specia
list “And vitamins play a more
important role in held health
then we suspect,” he said.
Ace also said that just be
cause you have low moisture
silage doesn’t mean you don’t
have problems With dry forage
placed m the silo, he reported
you get a heating action instead
of bacteria change This effects

Bangs and Tuberculosis situa
tion in Pennsylvania A situa
tion has arisen where herds are
needing to be quarantined be
cause heifers have been vacci
nated too late and testing ic
actwn is resulting when these
animals are blood tested. “Don’t
vaccinate heifers that are one
day over six months old,” he
said “I pushed hard for vac
cinations back when we needed
it, but now we don’t know
where we stand because of late
vaccinated heifers ”
On the TB situation Guss said,
“We have made a complete
cycle When TB was senous 20
to 30 yeai s ago, we found infect
ed herds in dark bains eating
and drinking out of the sanr
troughs Then we went to nice
barns with individual troughs
and water bowls and now we
are back to putting cows in
holding pens so they can’t get
away from each other for sever
al hours a day and feeding them
out of the same feed and water
troughs ”
