Adams recommends main taining the dry cow feed ration right up to freshening, when grain can be upped to one percent of body weight, then gradually in creased as the cow will take it. Dry matter needs for the first two weeks of freshening are critical and should be fed at the level of about 2.2 percent of body weight. Overfeeding of grains or concentrates lessens the cow’s appetite for forages and cuts her intake of necessary dry matter. While dry cows should not have a steady diet of hay nearly void of nutrient value, it is just as unwise, says Adams, to feed top grade alfalfa hay. Best quality alfalfa hay can be too rich in nutrients, and can lead to problems with displaced abomasums, or twisted stomachs, following calving. Dairymen should avoid using the same box stall areas for calving and for dry cow care. An estimated 80 percent of all mastitis cases can be traced back to the dry period, and under the stress of calving, a cow’s reproductive and mammary systems can readily pick up bacteria from dry cows housed previously in the same area. As calving is imminent. Adams urges dairymen to wash and GIGANTIC SELECTION In Lancaster Farming's CLASSIFIEDS EASTERN SHORE SHOWCASE CALF SALE SATURDAY, MARCH 17,1984 11:00 A.M.
