Preventing Milk Fever in Dairy Cattle Calving Care
To prevent milk fever the calf should be allowed to nurse for a few days. If that is not done, the udder should not be milked out completely at first, but some milk removed to prevent engorgement.

Corn Best for Silo When It Is Glazed
Corn should be harvested for silage when glaze begins and dent is well developed for dent varieties. Proper silage needs firm packing and adequate moisture to avoid mold and acid buildup. Frosted or overly mature corn reduces quality unless winter weather is added and the surface packed. Use a jointed pipe distributor to distribute silage and keep walls tightly packed. Keep two people trampling the surface on large cuts to prevent top spoilage. Silo use is now essential for profitable dairies, with studies in Pennsylvania and New York showing 20 percent higher winter production when silage is fed.
