Farm Topics Legume Silage Not Replace Corn For Dairy Cows

Legume silage should not replace corn silage in dairy cow rations due to its lower energy per pound. The article notes corn or a corn-based feed provides higher energy content critical for milk production.

Agriculture notes on silage mixes shelter lighting and parasite control

High energy grains balance legume silage. corn legume blends yield satisfactory roughage. Open sheds with south or east exposure suffice for dairy cows, reducing labor and adding sun. Swine feed can mix grain and protein in self feeders but requires grinding and multiple protein ratios. Winter daylight loss lowers egg production in pullets. artificial light with 26 watt bulbs over feeders aids production. Nodule worm endangers sheep sutures, with Iowa flocks heavily infected. drench ewes twice with phenothiazine to prevent losses and improve lamb growth.
