Livestockmen short of hay can feed straw but must supplement with vitamin A protein and energy says Cam Brown Manitoba Department of Agriculture. Nutritious straw is best oats then barley and wheat. For a 1000 pound cow feed oat straw plus five to seven pounds cracked grain. barley straw six to eight pounds. wheat straw seven to nine pounds.
Mr Brown lays out straw as a feed value with supplement details. For cows, 1 500 000 units of injectable vitamin A every 90 days or 20 000 IU daily. good straw may need no protein if mature. Poor straw needs 0.5 to 1 lb of 32 percent protein supplement. growing animals require more. Replacement heifers get 1 lb of 32 percent protein and 5–8 lb grain daily. grain amount varies by straw type and size. Protein concentrate: 35 percent with barley straw and 40 percent with wheat straw. Calves mirror replacement diets but with higher grain. Late-pregnancy cows may use same diet if condition is maintained or grain increased if needed. All cattle can access blue salt and minerals year round. Caution on nitrate poisoning in green oat straw. ripe oat straw less risky. Submit straw samples to University of Manitoba lab for tailored guidance. Free straw is ideal, but scarce feed can cut straw to 5 lb for growing animals with higher grain.
