Oats Lead as Feed for Horses Says Missouri Expert
A Missouri Farmer writer states oats are the best horse feed being light palatable and balanced. Corn should be limited to one third to one half of the grain ration for brood mares. Wheat should be ground or rolled in small amounts. Barley is bulky and fed cooked occasionally for medicinal qualities. Bran is essential to prevent overfeeding and aid digestion. Soybeans and cowpeas add protein for mares in foal.
Drying Dairy Cows Before Freshening Times
An authority in Pathfinder Magazine recommends drying up all cows at least six weeks before freshening for better milk quantity and quality. If milk is under two and a half gallons daily, reduce grain by about three quarters to dry up, or skip milkings for a week before stopping. The former method is easier and as satisfactory except with very high production or disease signs.
