Protein prices, particularly soybean oil meal prices have risen sharply over the past several months. 823 At these current prices for protein supplementation, you should make certain that you are not overfeeding protein. This can best be done through sound feed programming, such as that available from our Penn State Forage Testing Ser vice. 817 780 700 659 4.2 4.1 4.0 3.7 815 810 685 658 3.3 3.9 3.4 You do have several alternatives to consider in adjusting feeding programs to ease the high cost burden. One of these is to replace at least part of the low-protein forages such as com silage, grass or mixed mainly grass forage with higher protein material. If you have it available, feed more legume or mixed mainly legume forages. Small grain forages are also high in protein if harvested in the pre-flower stage. 789 682 789 765 656 3.9 3.5 3.4 787 725 709 3.8 4.5 3.7 787 695 When only high protein forages are fed a 12-14 per cent grain mix is generally sufficient. A 16-18 per cent feed may be needed when only 50 per cent of the bay equivalent is furnished by high protein forages. I know from talking with you that many of you are using a 16-20 per cent protein level in your grain mix, when only 12-14 per cent is needed. Most recommendations include margins of safety. 784 676 671 658 4.2 4.4 4.2 3.8 17,984 20,873 20,081 305 305 19,468 13,913 305 305 17,547 19,093 305 305 .20,630 47,972 305 305 19,573 20,686 305 305 17,702 17,490 14,474 305 305 305 21,267 19,414 20,292 305 305 19,539 19,095 305 305 6-4 6-10 15,842 17,858 292 251 19,206 13,807 19,136 298 305 305 4-4 4- 5- 20,457 19,622 18,191 305 305 Facts for dairymen By Alan Bair Assoc. County Agent Lancaster, Pa. You do not need to add more. Check with our Forage Testing Service to be sure you are not overfeeding high priced protein. “Are the ends of your cows teats normal?” It’s ab solutely amazing to me how often you can’t answer this simple question about the most important part of the cow. The teat end is the cows first line of defense against disease organisms and one of the more visible indicators of physical stress as a cause of mastitis. In our experience teat end damage can have several causes. While talking recently with Raymond Hoover, a good dairyman from the White House area, his concern was teat damage due to extremely cold weather. This can be a cause of teat end damage, but more often than not, the cold is simply the stress that brings the damage to your attention. Most teat end damage is caused by malfunction or missusage of the milking machine. Some teat end damage can also result from teat dips and the en vironment. Obviously we are not going to recommend that you stop using milking machines or teat dips. The point is that when you first observe teat end damage, find the cause and correct the situation immediately. It’s a losing battle to fight the cause of mastitis without first correcting the situation that is damaging tile teat ends. 777 772 725 769 670 768 731 MAMS CO. OX. RICE, INC.
