George Phillips of the conserva
tion district staff will review the
results of nutrient management
experiments conducted by the
Truckenmillers. The Truckenmill
ers experimented with different
rates of manure and fertilizer
application on one of their com
fields this past summer. Phillips
will discuss the impact of various
nutrient application rates on crop
production.
Before the meeting begins, far
mers are invited to come and tour
DER’s new mobile nutrient labor
atory. The lab will be at the Truck
enmiller farm starting at 5:30 p.m.
The laboratory is equipped to test

colostrum in the refrigerator, but
he can only keep it for two days.
From an individual-calf perfor
mance standpoint, Doelman has
had equal results using Colostrux
supplement or good quality colo
strum. However, his overall suc
cess at raising calves is better now
because he doesn’t have to feed
marginal quality colostrum.
Although supplementing colo
strum won’t prevent all the prob
lems newborn calves experience as
a result of fall weather, it can give
them a better chance of combating
those problems. Increasingly,
dairymen are recognizing the
importance of assuring calves

ty immediately after birth, say
dairy specialists. And knowing
that they’ve received adquate
immunoglobulins is key to that
assurance.
