Dairy Notes on Feeding and Cow Health

Butter fat prices lag, causing economic adjustments such as balanced rations and avoiding cottonseed meal overuse. Early grazing reduces forage value and risks protein shortages.
Poultry Hints for Better Flocks and Healthier Chicks
Hints emphasize higher returns from hatchery stock over broilers and roasted birds. Careful handling of hatching eggs prevents chilling and poor hatch. Do not raise chicks in makeshift quarters. ensure ventilated houses and secure drafts. After early broiler runs, prices fall, so sanitary plans with healthy disease free stock and clean equipment boost success. For natural turkey hatching, place nests where they stay through the season and use the same good strain each year to avoid inbreeding risks.
