Alan Bair, Assistant County Agricultural I i Agent p y\ Fall Forage Feeding We may have some late corn and short tobacco in the fields right now, but if you glance at the date at the top of this page it is not hard to tell that fall is just around the corner. It might be nice to say that fall means frosty pumpkins and apple cider; but in reality, to the dairyman it means making base and producing all the milk possible So why worry about forage feeding in the fall when the barn is full 7 Well, sometimes when things are most obvious they are the hardest to see. To begin with I have seen a number of herds recently that were having a milk fat test problem. What is the most common cause of milk fat depression? A simple answer indeed-low fiber intale. Along about this time of year many dairymen are out of silage and the only green plants left in the pasture are weeds. In most cases hay is plentiful but doesn’t quite get fed at the rates necessary to maintain production with little other forage. Sure the cow can get along with 1-5 pounds of hay equivalent per 100 pounds of body weight for a short period of time. But how long has this been going on and what does your immediate feeding schedule look like? To maintain your test, plan to feed at least 2 pounds hay equivalent per 100 pounds body weight year round. You say it takes too much time to figure this all out—try flipping through your DHI sheets. If you’re getting your money’s worth from testing, you will know right where to look. And while we are talking testing—let’s get to the key to proper forage feeding—FOßAGE TESTING. It has been said, “My forage isn’t good enough to test this year,” yet this type of situation is where forage analysis offers its greatest help. A lot of poor quality forage was made this summer because of the wet (Continued on Page 13) CATALYTIC HEATER THE HOT ONE 1 Flamless cat alytic gas brooder.
