D22-Lancaatar Farming Saturday, April 8,1989 Burn The Beans And Brown The Hay! BY GEORGE F.W. HAENLEIN Extension Dairy Specialist * University of Delaware NEWARK, De. Cooks relax! Burning food on the stove is not quite as bad as it smells some times! That is, when it comes to feeding cows and calves! We used to warn against hay going too moist into the mow and burning. Well, it still may set the bam on fire; but the fact that hay caramel izes, is not as bad as we used to think. What was called unavail able protein because of overheat ing is now recognized as by-pass advantage in the rumen. To have a portion of total feed protein unavailable in the rumen . and thus by-passing it. is actually, an advantage to our cows, calves, sheep and goats. Mere protein will reach the lower intestines for true digestion and utilization, instead of being wasted as ammonia gas in the rumen from readily ferment able protein. Researchers in Nebraska found that heating hay with soybean oil meal caused certain plant sugars to react with the amino acids of proteins on healing, which equals caramelization. The proteins in soybean oil meal become pro tected against degradation in the rumen; that is, they become unavailable or by-pass. When the sugar xylose was used with soy bean oil meal, its by-pass percen tage was increased 2.5 times. Xyl ose is normally part of hemicellu lose in plants, thus a part of fiber.

Digestion trials on beef and lambs and subsequent tests on milking cows with such heat- and xylose-treated soybean oil meal showed that not only more by pass protein was digested, but also that less soybean oil meal should do the same job when “burnt.” Two rations were tried on the milking cows, one contained 16 percent protein and had regular soybean oil meal. The other ration had half of the soybean oil meal content of the first, thus testing only 13.2 percent probin, but the DeKALB, IL Regional sales managers and agronomists of DeKalb-Pfizer Genetics met at the company’s international head quarters in DcKalb, 111., for the announcement of new seed pro ducts for the 1989 growing sea son. This year, the company is releasing four new com hybrids for the central Com Belt, four com hybrids for specific regional markets, three new soybean var ieties, and one grain sorghum hybrid. The new product launch involved company representatives from across the country. In all, IS agronomists and 12 regional sales managers attended this year’s sales launch.

Would it be the same that we would say when we come home for dinner and the kitchen has that burnt fragrance in the air and the dear cook is in tears? No, no! The cows seem to know about the built-in value of carame lizing food! It appears that cows know instinctively that instead of feeding and wasting proteins on their rumen bugs, they now get more out of this food themselves later on in their guts. Therefore they are not upset about “burnt” feed. In fact, they appear rather DeKalb-Pfizer Releases New Products CollCgCi - DeKalb-Pfizer sales managers and agronomists assist the com pany’s dealers and customers throughout the year, but they also play an important role in the pro duct advancement process. Sales managers help interpret the specif ic needs of their customers, and agronomists supervise the on farm field tests and help evaluate all experimental products.

Cows readily ate either ration. The cows fed regular soybean oil meal in the 16 percent supplement aver aged 84.4 pounds of milk on a 3.S percent fat-corrected basis. But the cows fed the heat-treated soy bean oil meal in the 13.2 percent supplement averaged 84.2 pounds of milk. Thus, results showed that similar milk production can be obtained when regular soybean oil releases had an additional test: the 1988 drought. “Our products typi cally experience some drought stress during the many yean of testing, but it’s unusual to have a drought as severe as last sum mer’s,” said Holding. “This year’s new products came through the drought like champs.” DeKalb-Pfizer is an interna- /V* Vr> T“ v^v.vWvST Jiif 1 psr kv*.v#3 Jw v.i m »r ,Cu va L«I Set us for this and other Super Deals on the 69 to 100 hp* M-F 3000 Series High-Productivity tractors.

From an economic point of view, feeding half as much soy bean oil meal when heat-treated, reduced grain supplement costs by $l3 to $26 per ton under current prices—and added much more than cost of heat treatment to the value of the supplement Thus, it seems that “burnt” beans and “brown” hay aren’t so bad after all, especially when sci entists are catching up with what cows knew all along. tional researcher, developer and marketer of hybrid com. sorghum and sunflower seed, and of variet al soybean and alfalfa seed.
