Advertorial
The University ofWisconsin
now evaluates forages
usingMilk/Acre.
The Department of Dairy Science & Agronomy at
the University of Wisconsin-Madison has developed a
program that evaluates forage production in terms of
milk/acre. The only recognized program of its kind, it
allows farmers to assess a forage based on quality
(R.F.V.) and yield (tons/acre).
In determining milk/acre, the program assumes a
cow weight 1,350 lbs. in mid-lactation stage produc
ing7o lbs. ofmilk/day.
Information from a forage analysis is used to For more information about the program and how
calculate relative feed value (R.F. V.). Then using yield/ to apply it your dairy operation, call Hoffman Seeds

. Heather Bankert, treasurer and Kelly Beard, news reporter.
For example, a forage with an R.F.V. of 110 and a
yield of 5.0 tons of dry matter produces 6,343 lbs. of
milk/acre. Contrast that with a forage having an R.F.V.
of 122 at 5.0 tons of dry matter, which produces
8,365 lbs. of milk/acre.
The higher the R.F.V. at an equivalent yield, the
higher the milk/acre —and the greater, the forage
quality. By the same token, the higher the yield at an
equivalent R.F. V., the higher the milk/acre.
