Economy Suggestion Given to Dairymen
A. E. Perkins of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station advises dairymen to cut costs by using a lower protein grain mix during pasture feeding. A two-season trial compared a 12 percent protein mix (ground corn oats bran) with a 20 percent protein mix (oilmeal gluten) and found about $5.50 per ton more cost for the higher protein blend. at farm prices the per cow difference would be about $2.09 for the season.
