An agricultural note outlines winter pig care focusing on housing ventilation and cleanliness. It covers bedding, disinfection, and equal rations with sectioned troughs to prevent pecking order issues. It also discusses starter feeds, gradual weaning, and monitoring for droopy pigs, plus matching milk and grain rations for sows and piglets.
On a successful dairy farm the focus is on freshening and drying cows. Three weeks before calving during winter feeding the owner starts two pounds daily of wheat bran. No shorts are fed until after calving, then the feed is raised to the time of calving.
The article notes the drawback of dairy grades being their male calves. It warns against selling sires and suggests calves hold value for other uses. It discusses how a dry dairy cow stores fat for freshening and how regular feed changes sustain appetite and production based on diet.
The cream separator can reduce cream losses by 25 to 60 percent, saving about $10 per cow yearly at average butter fat prices. Farmers milking five or six cows may recoup the separator cost in one year. Agents note closer relations with farmers through sales. Addressing hard milkers involves washing teats with antiseptic, using teat plugs between milkings.
