DALLAS POST, DALLAS, PA.,SATURDAY, JANUARY 12, 1929
ATTY
FACTS
EXPERIMENTS IN
CATTLE FEEDING
Need Mineral Supplements
With Poor Roughage.
When poor. rougllage is fed to
dairy cows mineral supplements are
shown to be necessary in a recent
publication of the Wisconsin experi-
ment station. Three cows fed on tim
othy hay, corn silage and a grain
mixture were poor producers of milk.
In addition they were slow to breed
than three cows. fed on alfalfa hay.
Another test on minerals showed
exposure to sunlight were unable to
maintain a calcium balance in their
bodies even though the ration was
otherwise adequate. When the cows
were exposed to sunlight for six hours
daily they decreased the loss of cal-
cium from their bodies by 25 per cent.
In a comparison of soy bean hay
versus alfalfa hay the cows produced
approximately the same amount of
butterfat and milk but the cows on
soy bean hay gained only half as
much body weight and wasted morc
of their hay. The results of this test.
which does not check with tests run
at some other stations, shows that
soy bean hay was calculated to be
worth 73 per cent as much as alfalfa
hay.
In this connection it jis interesting
to note some experiments that were
conducted in chopping alfalfa and
soy bean hay. No advanfage was
noted in chopping alfalfa, but the
cows wasted less of the soy bean nay.
This caused the chopping to improve
the value of soy bean hay by 23 per
cent. These figures indicate that ir
may prove profitable to chop soy bean
when used for feeding dairy
cattle.
Modern Dairy Barn Must
Have Good Ventilation
It must not be forgotten that each
cow in the stable actually gives -off
from* her breath alone about ten
pounds of carbondioxide per day and
over two gallons of water. Ience, it
is perfectly obvious that in the modern
dairy stable there must be some sys-
tem whereby this used, moist, foul
air may be regularly taken out of the
stable and replaced by fresh air. Dur-
in Ite winter months, the occasional
opening of doors and windows wil
help but how often is this done during
winter months, and needless to say it
is never done during the night. |
King and other authorities on stable |
ventilation have estimated that there |
should be a continual air flow through
the stable at the rate of about 3,600 |
cubic feet per cow per hour. In other
words, in a cow stable 36 feet by 50
feet with an 8-foot ceiling, there should |
be a sufficient flow of air so that one-
quarter of the air would be replaced
every hour or that the air be com-
pletely changed in the stable six times |
per day. If this were done by the |
opening of doors and windows, the re- |
sulting changes of temperatures, chills
to the animals, ete., would obviously |
be courting disaster. Hence, a regular
|
[
|
system whereby such a change of air |
will go on continuously and still allow
the maintenance of uniform heat con- |
ditions, should be the ambition of ev- |
ery one installing a ventiliiion sys- |
tem.

Well Bred Calves Most
Valuable Dairy Asset |
Calves from low producing stock are |
worth little more than their value for |
veal, but those from high producing |
strains must be assigned much greater
|
valuation, as they command excellent |
prices as breeding stock.
In the keeping of high producing
animals there are, of course, added
expenses such as increased deprecia-
tion and risk, increased labor in caring
for the animals, and expenses of ad-
vertising and selling; but it will gen-
erally be found that the value of the
calves produced from such stock! will
more than offset the added expense of
raising’ them over and above that in-
volved in the keeping of common stock
Cold Hampers Cow
A high producing dairy cow cannot
continue normal production if she is
exposed to sevei: weather. It is, there-
fore, important if good yields are ex-
pected to hold up through the cold |
months, that all discomforts be elim- |
inated. A comfortable cow will more
than repay for added labor for her
protection. Milk is 87 per cent water. |
and a large part of this gets into the |
animal's system from the water trough. |
Quarters for Cows
In addition to proper feeding, dairy
cows will need good quarters if they |
are to produce maximum returns for
their owners. Dairy cows do not have |
long ‘hair or surplus fat to protect |
them from cold weather. They are |
more Sensitive to cold winds, drafts
and poor quarters than any other |
kind of farm live stock, unless it is
the poultry. Warmth, comfort, venti-
lation and sanitation should receive |
consideration in fixing "up the dairy |
barns or sheds for the winter months. |
