Hay Quality Guides Dairy Feed Protein Levels
County agent Peter Bieri notes protein in dairy rations depends on roughage quality. High quality early cut hay may need no protein supplement. 10 percent protein from home grown grains often suffices. Large corn silage raises grain protein needs by 2 3 percent. late cut low quality hay requires 15 16 percent protein. Most farmers fall mid range needing 300 400 pounds of high protein feed per ton of corn and oats.

Solids Not Fat Testing Gains Interest on Wisconsin Farms
Wisconsin dairy breeders push SNF testing as public demand shifts toward protein and nutrients. Starkey notes many Holstein breeders will adopt SNF in 1963, with some already testing in Dodge and Fond du Lac counties. TNT blends fat testing with SNF for protein lactose and minerals and may change milk payment schemes once plants offer direct SNF payments. Local DHILA boards plan equipment purchases when demand justifies the cost.
