Facts Rules Given For Raising Calves
The article argues whole milk is essential for calf growth, with supplements only as needed. It outlines a minimum whole milk pilin plan, timing for milk withdrawal based on vigor, and required inputs of grain and hay. Calves fed with milk experience fewer digestive troubles and achieve better early growth, favoring milk over substitutes.
No Increase in Value by Grinding Cow's Feed
Ground feed does not raise food value for dairy cattle. Bulky roughage ground into pulp remains roughage, not a concentrate. Successful dairymen avoid magic claims about grinding. Follow steps: let grinding cost govern roughage amount, do not feed ground roughages as concentrates, grind small grain for dairy cows but not to a meal, and do not grind small grain for baby calves.
Cows on Short Pastures Need Some Grain Feeds
The Beltsville dairy experiment farm findings show pasture yields vary with conditions. A half-acre mowing produced 420 pounds of grass in May but only 11 pounds in August during a drought, implying cows require heavy feeding when pastures are short.

Vitamin D in Cod Liver Oil Found Impractical
University of Wisconsin findings show Vitamin D in cod liver oil is not usable by cattle. Adding the oil to cow rations reduced milk and fat output while removing it increased production. Alfalfa hay briefly exposed to bright sun did not supply enough Vitamin D to sustain dairy cows’ lime content. three days of sunlight helped maintain body lime as cows lost less than before. Cows fed hay silage and grain.

Feeding cows on pasture depends on condition of cows and grass
Grain amounts and types vary with cow condition and pasture quality. Thin cows need more grain than fleshed ones, and grain protein should be lower for thinner animals. Fresher grass requires less protein, while mature grass calls for cautious protein levels in the ration.
