Evaporated, Condensed
And Dry Milk Down
Combined production of
evaporated whole milk and
sweetened condensed whole milk
(case goods) m February 1972
was estimated at 85.0 million
pounds by the Crop Reporting
Board, six per cent below a year
earlier. Prices paid by con
denseries to producers for
manufacturing grade milk
during February averaged $4.93
per hundredweight, seven cents
per pound above a year earlier
Dairy Scientists Learning
Nutritionists made significant
research advances in nitrogen
metabolism of ruminants during
1971, Dr. Richard Goodrich,
University of Minnesota animal
scientist, reported in
Washington, D.C. at the 20th
Annual Pfizer Research Con
ference.
Several scientists reported
measuring microbial protein
synthesis in the rumen and the
percentage of microbial protein
derived from ammonia, Goodrich
said. Other researchers showed
that diet influences the amount of
protein which reach the
abomasum
Abomasal infusion of proteins
has been used to describe
changes that occur in the rumen,
according to Goodrich. Aldehyde
treatment of proteins was used in
an attempt to increase the
amount of dietary protein
reaching the abomasum. He also
mentioned a large number of
reports concerned with the

Beacon Golden Test Rations
C.A.F. The Cow Acceptability Factor
determines how much grain your cows
will eat. Beacon Golden Test milking rations
are partially pelleted, contain a proven level
of crimped corn for extra palatability. Even
finicky eaters clean these feeds up well, re
sponding with higher milk production than
when fed less palatable feeds.
The Cow Acceptability Factor helps get
more grain into your cows in critical periods
of milk production. Call us today for Beacon
Golden Test Rations with C.A.F.

Production of spray and roller
process nonfat dry milk in
February totaled 100 0 million
pounds, a decline of 11 per cent
from February 1971. Selling
prices for dry whole milk in
February averaged 47 15 cents
per pound for bulk goods, 0 06
cents above February 1971. Dry
buttermilk (human food)
averaged 29 77 cents per pound,
439 cents more than a year
earlier
More About Metabolism
utilization of urea and other non
protein nitrogen materials
A new research area, Goodrich
mentioned, is the use of
chemicals to inhibit methane
production in the rumen
Methane production results in a
sizeable loss of energy ruminant
digestion. Therefore, materials
which inhibit methane production
may improve energy utilization
Some of the 1971 data showed
improvements in energy ef
ficiency when these products
were used.
He also mentioned the results
of several mineral research
projects but pointed out that
there is much to be discovered
with respect to the occurrence of
subclinical mineral deficiencies
and toxicides, mineral inter
relationships and requirements.
The current interest in the
disposal of crop and industry
byproducts has stimulated
researchers to evaluate these
products as feeds for ruminants.
