Too often grass forage may con tain even less protein than corn silage which is notoriously low in this nutrient Grass forage also is often deficient in mag nesium and may contain exces sive amounts of potassium in re lation to calcium plus magne sium The ratio of potassium, to calcium plus magnesium in the total ration should be in the range of 1 1 to 2.2 1 Violations of this ratio may increase the incidence of milk fever, creep ing down cow and grass or win tei tetany A high KCa + Mg ratio is more apt to occur oa heavily fertilized forage, es pecially if large amounts of poul try manuie have been applied Do you have trouble with cows maintaining appetite? When cows slow down consider ably in eating or refuse appre ciable amounts of concentrate, their concentrate allowance should be reduced by several pounds or even cut by one-half foi a few days to keep appetite keen Also closely observe cows foi signs of illness. Non-specific infections ac quired by susceptible cows at, calving time from a contaminat ed envuonment are today much moie mipoi tanl causes ot herd infertility than are specific diseases 1 eneieal infections, in cluding v ibnosis and tricho moniasis, aie earned b> infected bulls to successive females by natural service A I service has successtull> eliminated the dan gei of these diseases where herds are bied stuctly by A. I If the use of a bull to breed heifers is deemed desirable, be sine that the animal, if he is purchased from another herd, is purchased young enough so that he could not have infected.
