Dairy Tips By Dr. John Clark

done to assure sufficient time to replace body reserves used up
in the previous lactation.
The modem dairy cow has an inborn ability to use nutrients
stored in bones and other tissues for milk production over and
above that supported by feed. These nutrients removed from
her body must be replaced, however, if she is to produce an

500 pounds extra milk x .11 = $55.00/
lactation

Well fed cows will not become un
thrifty because they are so well fed.
However, with high producing cows

equal or greater amount her next lactation. If they are not
replaced, she will not peak as high and will not rebreed as
efficiently.
The stress put on cows because of recent drought caused by
extremes in temperature and poor feed intake makes it doubly
important to rebuild body condition. This can be done during
the last 30 - 90 days of the lactation cycle and should continue
through the dry cow period to rebuild body stores along with
calf growth.
Purina has a choice of lactation
cow dewormers.
