Hay protein test guides dairy rations in Iowa
Iowa dairymen may cut grain costs by testing hay protein levels up to three to four percent above normal due to high quality this year. Extension staff advise testing for protein calcium and phosphorus, recording on DHIA sheets, and adjusting grain mix using the Middle Method. A one percent rise in forage protein can trim grain protein by one percent, with a practical rule to adjust soybean meal by about 50 pounds per ton per percentage point change.
