If you have been so busy
planting com and making
hay that you haven’t had
time to look at your recent
feed bills, you better go take
a look. 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.

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.

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.

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.
