Safety precautions are so simple, it can be a
crying shame not to practice them. Keep an eye
on the speedometer, the other guy, young kids,
bouncing balls. Clean your windshield, every
time. Check your tire pressure, every time. Ad
just your rear-view mirror, every time. And don't

Too Much High Moisture Corn
May Cause Drop in Butterfat
Extremely high levels of high 3 0 for the group on the 54.46
moisture corn in the ration can ration,
cause depressed butterfat tests,
says University of Minnesota There were no significant dif

“ Farmers feeding a high ener- fat produclion * of milk piotein
Sy for top production production due t 0 rallon diffe r.
should feed about 1 to £ nces
pounds of forage per 100 pounds
body weight each day to keep the
butterfat test up,” says dairy re
searcher D. G. Johnson
He reported his research at the
annual meeting of the American
Society of Animal Science at the
University of Pennsylvania re
cently.
Johnson and his co-workers fed
rations containing three different
proportions of corn silage and
high moisture corn to 52 Hol
stein cows in early lactation
The proportions of corn silage
to high moisture corn in the ex
perimental rations were 80 20,
67 33, and 54:46. Each ration was
fed at 110 per cent of consump
tion each day and was supple
mented with soybean meal, urea,
trace mineral salt and dicalcium
phosphate. In addition, alfalfa
hay was fed at the rate of 6
pounds per cow per day
Milkfat test took a significant
di op in the two rations with a
highei peicentage of high mois
ture corn The average test was
3 91 for the first groups, 3 44 for
the cows that received moderate
levels of high moisture corn and
