Spring Fever
We all look with great an
ticipation for the coming of
Spring. Sure, it means a lot of
work, but there seems to be
enough of that all year ’round!
Traditionally spring has meant
a big jump in milk production.
The Spring flush was influenced
by a number of things, one of the
biggest reasons being that nature
has a way of having most cows
freshen at that time of year. Your
good management, along with
the influence of milk marketing,
has pretty much eliminated the
effects of spring freshening.
The other spring picker-upper
is good green pasture. Oh yes, we
always looked forward to the
extra milk that it would bring.
Ever stop to think why we got the
big boost from pasture?
Obviously the cows were
missing something in their
winter-time stored feed that the
pasture could provide. In other
words, we held our cows back all
winter while we complained
about the small milk check. Let’s
come out of hibernation and find
out what the problem is.
Back up a few months and
critically look at what you were
feeding. Remember your father
or possibly grandfather talking
about a winter-time “ailment” of
cows called hollowhorn? More
correctly it should have been
called hollowbelly. Did you really
feed your cows enough this
winter’ I don’t mean enough to
fill them up, but sufficient
nutrients to enable them to
produce at their potential.
The first step to feeding enough
nutrients is to know what you
rare feeding Better take note of
this now for next winter’s
feeding Spring will not last
forever
Streptomycin Warning
Dr. Sam Guss, Our Penn
State Extension Veterinarian
reminds us that the U. S Food
and Drug Administration has
established a zero tolerance for
streptomycin and
dihydrostreptomycin in animal
tissues The use of this antibiotic
both for intramammary dry
treatment and intramuscularly
for almost everything is a
potential source of tissue
residues Cull dairy cattle are
being sampled at slaughter for
tissue residues of these and other
antibiotics. Cows which have
been given dry treatments
containing antibiotics should be
withheld from slaughter for at
least 30 days Cows given in
tramuscular injections of
penicillin and streptomycin
should be withheld from
slaughter at least 60 days. It is
often customary to give larger
than label doses of this com
bination of antibiotics because
they are relatively cheap and
some dairymen and
veterinarians behc\c larger
doses are necessary Tissue
residues remain for much longer
periods following excessive
doses, FDA has warned that
unless the necessary precautions
are taken to prevent tissue
residues, there will be much
stricter regulations regarding
their availability and use.
Milk Squirt
The average U. S. dairy cow
produces almost a ton of edible
and highly digestible nutrients a
year. A cow producing 16,000
pounds of milk in a 10-month
period supplies an amount of
protein equal to that in the edible
parts of eight 1200-pound steers,
or 28 200-pmmd hogs
