Facts Dairymen
Should Know
By Max Smith
County Agr. Agent
Dairy Cattle Grates
Can Help Keep Cows Clean
Dairymen aie finding that bed
ding for dairy cows is in short
supply this yeai
Rubber mats and carpeting
aie finding their way into more
and more dairy stables to pro
vide cow comfort
When minimum bedding is
used, it’s a good idea to provide
grates over the gutters to aid
in keeping the cows clean.
Studies at The Pennsylvania
State University indicate that the
grate size and spacing is impor
tant. It is suggested that steel
rods % inches in diameter be
spaced 3 inches on centers over
the gutters. Cross bars 5/16 x
114 inches flat stock should be
placed on 12-16 inch centers. In
order that the grates can be
handled easily it is suggested
that they be constructed in sec
tions 8 to 9 feet long. Gutter
grates aid in keeping cows clean
when minimum bedding is used.
Dairy Urged To Prevent
Feed Flavor In Fluid Milk
The sweet, aromatic flavor of
milk lower consumption It does
not cause spoilage, but some
persons do not like the unpleas
ant taste. It is caused by the
feed the cows eat and the air
they taieathe.
Pievention is the key as pro
cessing will not remove all of
the off-flavor. Feeding silage
(grass or corn) after milking
and adequate barn .ventilation
are essential. ( Cows should not
eat silage for at least two hours
prior to milking. The taste is
detected in the milk about 20
minutes after silage is eaten. It
dissipates until no off-flavor is
appaient after 4 to 6 hours.
Even in cold weather dairy
barns must be ventilated. A
thermostatically - controlled fan
should keep the air fresh and
the temperature about 55 de
grees F in a closed stable About
15 percent of the 443 store
samples evaluated had a definite
feed taste during 1970. To main
tain good flavor and increase per
capita consumption, pi event the
feed taste of milk Good barn
ventilation and feeding silage
after milking aie very impor
tant.
Research Finding New Uses
For Tree Bark
Bark is a raw material that is
being used in a variety of
pioducts and for several differ
ent purposes. But much bark
is wasted or piesents disposal
pioblems to sawmill operators
in some localities.
Large quantities of bark are
available mainly as a result of
sawmills chipping their slabs
for papermaking Analyzing all
aspects ot bark residues is neces
sary befoie it is used That as
why there is baik-use reseaich
underway at The Pennsylvania
Slate University School of
Foiest Resources and the De
partment of Horticulture
Producers of bark assist re
search of this type by making
their material available for con
ducting trials and observing re
sults of the use of bark pro
ducts which were once consider
ed total waste. Processing
equipment and systems are now
being used for manufacturing
specific pi oducts. This might be
another bedding substitute for
sti aw.
Dairy Farmers Can Increase
Their Returns By:
An adequate feeding program
based on maximum use of high
quality hay, silage and pastuie
