Chateau-Ridge Milkmaster Bonus is the result of a mating between Gil-Tex-B Milkmaster- MINNEAPOLIS, MN. - The type of feed, and not just the forage-to-concentrate ratio, af fects response from buffering ingredients, a leading dairy nutritionist reported recently. Speaking at the Buffers, Neutralizers and Electrolytes Symposium sponsored by the National Feed Ingredients Association (NFIA), Jimmy Clark of the University of Illinois said that buffers like sodium bicar bonate were first thought to be effective only when high levels of concentrate were fed in diary rations. More recent research suggests buffer response is also affected by feed particle size and whether the forage is fermented or unfermented.

She is classified VG-85 and is sired by Collms-Crest Sunshine Chief. use of complete, blended rations has reduced the particle size of many dairy cows’ diets, Clark explained. “Reduction in particle size of the diet markedly reduces the amount of saliva secreted and hence the buffering capacity of the ruminal contents,” Clark said. Several experiments have shown that feeding finely chopped or ground forage reduces' butterfat production, compared to feeding a coarse or long forage. Sodium bicarbonate fed at .75 to .8 percent dry matter can help maintain normal butterfat production when particle size is reduced by chop ping or grinding. Fermented forages also increase the need for buffering, Clark said, because they increase the "acid load” on the animal. He cited Penn LANDISVILLE - K.J. Keynolds Tobacco Company has presented Penn State with a fit of $5,000 for tobacco production research. The funds will be used for projects in plant breeding, measuring and nutrient content of manure applied to tobacco fields, determination of objective characteristics that indicate superior leaf for chewing tobaccos, and determining the effect of maturity on chewmg tobacco quality. A.K. Mitchem, Senior Agricultural H&D Coordinator for Keynolds Tobacco, presented the check for the gift to John O. Yocum, semor research associate and superintendent of the Southeastern Field Research Laboratory. K.J. Keynolds contributions to tobacco research, extension, and State research with sodium bicarbonate fed at 1.2 percent of the dry matter in a ration of 75 percent corn silage and 25 percent concentrate. A beneficial response to bicarb in that study was par tially due to bicarb’s neutralizing effect on the acids present in the silage. Bicarb also counteracted acids produced when the silage further fermented in the rumen, he said. in conclusion, Clark called for dairy researchers to routinely measure the mean particle size of rations when studying buffer response. "To make effective use of buf fers in the future, we must pay more attention to such factors as acid load imposed on the animal and the physical and chemical properties of the diet,” he said. « t ft * * . *"' • . * THE AERO DRY™ FLOOR SYSTEM Looks strange, doesn’t if 7 If your floor does not look like this, you've got a floor designed to only AERATE I Our floor was designed to DRY II Our floor is 23% open.

Nitrogen (Continued from Page 06) forms, more N will be available to the crop at the crucial seed-filling stage,” Johnson says. Three-ln-One Nitrogen For this reason, Johnson favors the use of urea-ammonuun nitrate (UANj solutions. "A UAN solution contains all three forms,” he ex plains. "The fertilizer itself will help spoon feed’ the crop.” UAN Solutions, available in 28%, 30% and 32% formulations, also provide more versatility, he says. They can be dribbled near the base of the plant, close to the root zone. "As long as you get some ram within four or five days of ap plication, you can leave the fer tilizer on the surface without mixing or knifing it into the soil," Johnson says. "That’s an im portant consideration if you’re on a conservation tillage program.” Nonetheless, Johnson says placing UAN solutions two to three inches deep is the best method of application. This can be done by dribbling the solution ahead of the cultivator. Another factor favoring the use of UAN solutions is the possible need to correct unexpected nutrient deficiencies. A prescription mix of nitrogen and other needed nutrients can be applied together without using two separate application rigs, he says. f- ' v+4k ' v< U ! f' -v: THE TURBO VENT Wind energy powers the AERO DRY™ Turbo Vent In a 4 mph breeze, the turbo vent does the work of a V« H P motor It GENTLY completes the job the COMPUTER, FLOOR SYSTEM and FANS started The stagnant moist air is exhausted ~, y < * r&v / / ...I 1 ”!/a m xfit 4 ?/- :
