Cows On Test Slum
Bigger Returns
Dairy Herd Improvement
Association (DHlA)records show
that 48 cows producing at the
average level of all DHIA cows
return as many dollars over feed
costs as 73 non-tested cows. The
DHIA cows averaged 12,965
pounds of milk per cow compared
to 8,982 for non-tested cows.
Extension dairy specialist
Herbert C. Gilmore at The
Pennsylvania State University,
explains that the extremes in
production levels show even
greater differences in number of
cows needed for $25,000 above
feed costs. At the 19,000-pound
level, 30 cows are needed while a
dairyman needs 111 cows that
only produce 7,000 pounds of milk
per year. The extra labor and
other costs at the lower levels
make it impossible to show a
profit.
There is a large difference in
levels of production for individual
cows in most herds and only by
keeping records can the un
profitable ones be culled and
greater returns be realized by the
dairyman, says Gilmore.
Dairymen considering ad
ditional sources of income should
carefully study the levels of
production in their present herd
before deciding to increase the
number of animals in their herd.
It could be more profitable to
study feeding and management
practices carefully to improve
present levels of production, adds
Gilmore.
