Milk contracting
considerations
Lower milk prices and higher
costs, for feed and other items
mean that many dairymen have a
serious cash flow problem.
Tightening the management belt
can keep financial problems at a
minimum. Here are some pointers
from Richard S. Adams Penn State
Agr. Extension Dairy Specialist,
that may be of help.
Buy wisely
This should always be the case,
but it is essential in the coming
months cautions Adams. Com and
protein supplement may not be
economical, if you are buying
gram. Non-protein nitrogen (NPN)
should be considered by good
feeders. Small grains and certain
by-product ingredients may enter
least-cost formulas that are
nutritionally sound as well as
economical. Often it is possible to
save 5 to 10% on purchases of feed
and the many other supplies
needed on a dairy farm by
checking prices with several
sources for items of comparable
quality. One must also consider
service in choosing a supplier.
Make-up a call list for supplies and
purchases from concerns that can
furnish the most items especially
volune ones, at the best prices and
with adequate service. Don’t over
pay for supplies in order to get a
limited amount of service for
“free”, such as soil or forage
testing and feed programming.
Cost such things out and then make
a decision.
Reduce Concentrate levels
The average milk cow m Penn
sylvania is fed about 1 pound of
concentrate per 2M: pound of milk
produced, whether in DHIA or not,
according to Adams. This often is a
heavier level of concentrate intake
than is necessary U> support the
level of milk production involved
or to balance the quality and
quantity of forage in the ration.
Also, concentrate to milk price
ratios in recent years and
currently projected ones do not

justify such a narrow ration or
such heavy feeding of concentrate.
Production may be maintained or
even increased in many herds and
improved health result if a con
centrate with proper protein,
mineral and vitamin levels were
fed at 1000-1500 pound less per cow
yearly..
Some research indicates that
prolonged feeding of excessive
concentrate to even high producing
cows in early lactation may ac
tually reduce milk yield on an
equal fat basis. At farm prices for
grain, feeding an average of 1
pound of concentrate (dry gram
basis) per 3V< pound of milk
produced appears to be more
economical than’ higher con
centrates for large breed cattle. At
prices for manufactured dairy
feeds a ration of 1:4 is more in
order. If heavier feeding of grain is
practiced, reduce levels gradually
over a period of three weeks and
allow cows to eat more forage if it
is available. These reductions
could save many dairymen as
much as $BO.OO per cow yearly.
Reduce waste and frills
Forage wasted in feeding may
approach 10% or more of the total
fed on some farms. Steps can be
taken to keep this at 5% or less.
This is especially important on
farms with an inadequate hay or
silage supply. It is most critical
with large packages that are
improperly stored or handled at
feeding out. Too many dairymen
use forage and feed additives of
questionable value. It is tune to get
back to the basics rather than
depend on relatively expensive
items that may not be necessary.
In some cases, dairymen will pay
high prices for a product when
comparable ones are available at
about % the price from his feed
concern or other supplier. Such
practices add millions of dollars
annually to the cost of dairying in.
