Timely Feeding
Management
Information
Many dairy produc
ers across Pennsylvania
are likely dealing with
shortages of home
grown forages because
of dry weather condi
tions throughout this
year’s growing season.
Questions that they
often ask include:
“What should be done
now?” ‘Should forage
intakes be kept at a
minimum?” “Should
hay or other forage be
purchased?” and
“Should roughage or
high-fiber feedstuffs be
used?”
An excellent publica
tion called “Feeding
During Shortages of
Home-Grown Feeds”
from Penn State can
help you and your nu
tritionist answer these
questions. It reviews a
list of 10 approaches to
dealing with the eco
nomic and nutritional
challenges of feeding
during years of short
feed supply.
This publication also
has several tables of in
formation that will help
you consider the eco
nomic implications of
feeding different feed
ingredients. It includes
simple formulas for de
termining whether a
particular ingredient
makes economic sense
to feed based on the
current price of shelled
corn and soybean meal.
These tables and formu
las are also available in

format. It can very
quickly evaluate the
feeding value of many
different feed ingredi
ents.
Additional tables that
list the nutritive value
of alternative feedstuffs
are also provided. They
include DM, CP, NDF,
NSC, and NEL. These
tables include practical
implications and recom
mendations that should
be considered before
adding these ingredients
in your rations.

are available through
