June, July, and August are months that pose some of the greatest challenges to dairy pro ducers. Summer temperatures and humidity are not conducive to cow comfort, ration programs are con tinually changing, not only for confined feeding, but also for grazing herds, and feeding prac tices are altered to accommodate increased field work. All these factors can have an unfavorable effect on the cow’s metabolism; therefore, care must be taken when interpreting milk urea nitro gen (MUN) values. It is typical to see MUN’s aver age in the low to mid 20*s (mg/dl) for a herd that is being intensively grazed. This can be attributed in part to the high total protein and high solubility of the protein in pasture. There is very little that can be done nutritionally or in feeding management practices to lower the values in this situation. However, inadequate water intake and heat stress can be factors in observed higher MUN values. Evaluating MUN’s during these stressful times may'help to im prove conditions (i.e. better access to water) that would otherwise be overlooked. 57.2 57.5 55.0 55.0 Dairy cattle that are Continued on stored feeds during the summer may also experience raised MUN’s compared to similar ra tions fed during the winter months. A study conducted at the University of Missouri showed cows fed a nearly identical ration during whiter and summer had plasma urea nitrogen (PUN) val ues 4 to 7 units higher in the sum mer. Both PUN and blood urea ni trogen are highly correlated with MUN's. Ration adjustments must NOT be made on MUN values alone.

Adam Derr, a dairyman from Westmoreland County, re cently attended his first PA DHIA state board meeting held at the Days Inn. State College. Adam along with his wife Jan ice and three children, Adam Jr., Dyannia. and Rebecca, work as a family operation in owning and managing Fay-West Holsteins. This herd consists of 100 regis tered Holsteins while 300 acres of cropland is worked annually on their Dairy of Distinction Farm. Adam is actively involved in the Westmoreland DHIA and Hol stein clubs as well as serving as a State Holstein Director. He also participates in the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau Association. jr* f « *■*’ •*> The environment cows are faced with during the summer may re sult in elevated MUN’s. Altering the cows’ diet to meet an “ideal” MUN level can lead to reduced dry matter intakes and lower milk production. If numerous cows ex hibit MUN’s over 27 mg/dl, then closer attention to feeding man agement practices and nutrient density of the diet are warranted for grazing and heat stressed ani mals.
