Program Highlights Dairy Cow
(Continued from Pago At 5)
He said that although some far
mers have expressed concern
about settling a high producing
cow, he said that research, which
looked a large numbers of cows
over a wide range of conditions
showed that, “You shouldn’t see a
big difference in conception
between high producing and low
producing cows.”
To those who consider the
effects of delaying insemination in
an attempt o improve conception
rate, he said that in-depth studies
have shown at best a 2 percent gain
in rate of conception.
“In reality,there should be little
difference between insemination
at SO days and 120 days. There’s
no good reason to delay breeding
high producing cows early .”
Further, Furgeson’s talk rein
forced what other experts have
been expressing recently: increas
ing dry cow care and nutrition. He
said that body condition scoring is
one of the best indicators of the
energy balance of the cow. The

not reproducing is that those cows
in a negative eneigy balance will
not have as great a conception rate
as those in a positive or nuetral
energy balance.
Usable indicators of energy
balance is body score. He said that
the average cow. if fed right,
should be out of a negative energy
balance after the first eight weeks
of lactation.
He said that at the fourth week
of lactation, the cow should have
lost the most body condition.
In appearance, body condition
should be stable between four
weeks and 13 weeks. At 13 weeks
the body condition should show an
increase, but that a positive energy
balance should have begun after
eight weeks and she should be
ready for conception prior to 13
weeks.
A generally reliable rule of
thumb for condition of the cow.
Furgeson said, is, “If you put your
hand on the pin bone and don’t feel
a fat pad, she’s too thin. She’s too
fat if you can’t see the ligament (in
the tear support).”
