THE BIGGEST THING TO HIT DAIRY SCIENCE SINCE AUTOMATIC Proudcers Re Max Smith, Martinsburg, PA “We've seen milk production go up about three pounds per head per dpy with 169 cows and feed costs drop by about five cents per head per day with Full Time Forage. Dry matter intake from forage increased nearly five lbs. per day. Getting more total forage into the cow has to be good for her. It maintains body condition and we have to look at that. Jacob Tanls, Centre Hall, PA “We estimate an average daily increase in milk of four pounds with an increase of dry matter intake, as well. The bullk tank kept running over when we started feeding Full Time Forage. Production jumped from 85 pounds to 92 pounds from the same 85 cows. And for silage hybrids, there's never been anything as good as Cargill numbers.” Bruce Hemserth, Millville, PA “We think we'll see a six-pound average increase when we get the DHIA analysis. We started at 60 pounds and hit 66 or 67 pounds per cow per day with no change in butterfat. Milk production bumped up right away and gradually peaked over the first month we had Full Time on test. I've ordered Full Time seed for 1997.” Ervin Hostetler, Belleville, Penn "My average daily milk production increased from 62.5 to 71.2 pounds per cow by the end of the 30-day trial, according to my DHIA results. There were 68 cows in the trial, although we were feeding for 62 or 63 cows. Butterfat was consistent throughout the trial. Dry matter intake increased 3.5 lbs. per cow per day. The cost for a total mixed ration went up 29 cents per cow per day, but the return from increased milk production was $1.22 per cow per day.” © Cargill, Incorporated 1997.

Dairy Operators £ On farms across the dairy crescent, an unprecedented feed test is underway to evaluate Fulltime forage, a plant breeding breakthrough from Cargill Hybrid Seeds. The results from 90-day trials on more than 100 farms could forecast a revolution in dairy nutrition. Adding $125 or more per cow per lactation, as FullTlme forage is expected to do, would have a dramatic effect on the bottom line of any operation. Early observations from cooperating dairy producers suggest that FuliTime forage has a very promising future. OPERATORS PLEASED WITH DAIRY HERD PERFORMANCE ON FULLTIME FORAGE ort Increases Of 3 to I f .5 Pounds!! Dave Fredericks, Fort Plain, N.Y. “Our milk production went up seven pounds per cow per day. What I really liked about Full Time forage was being able to back off on purchased grain - we cut that about 150 pounds per day. “Using Full Time forage reduced feed costs by $2l or $22 per day. If I plant it on all my acres next year, I probably could use even less high moisture corn, feed more forage and less grain, and see even bigger savings on feed costs."
