Indiana dairy farmers increasingly supplement pasture with grain to support higher milk flow. Purdue extension notes 3–6 pounds daily generally, up to 10 pounds for high production, with corn meal, wheat bran, ground oats, gluten feed, and cotton seed meal as best options. Start with protein in spring, add cotton seed meal as pasture declines, and adjust through July to September.

Purdue University Poultry experts advocate sodium fluoride dipping to eradicate lice in hens and chicks. A single dip, using half a pound of sodium fluoride in ten gallons of warm water, treats 100 to 150 birds and should not harm feathers. For young chicks a powder treatment is preferred, with follow up in ten days to ensure lice are gone.
