Vitamin deficiencies threaten cattle health during wartime feeding
Veterinarians report rising deficiency diseases in cattle amid wartime feeding conditions. Symptoms mimic common illnesses, complicating diagnosis. Farmers should seek veterinary help to identify whether vitamin or mineral shortages are the root cause and take corrective steps promptly.
Six week dry period advised for dairy cows
Rutgers University expert Dr. Taylor recommends a mature cow have a six to eight week dry period before freshening. She should receive ample hay and silage, with about six to eight pounds of grain daily for the first four to six weeks. Stop heavy grain feeding one week before calving.
