Feeding Cattle on Silage All Year Round
Farmers weigh risks and advise that cows can be fed silage year round with no danger if handled properly. spoilage and insufficient fresh air pose the main threats. use appropriately sized silos for summer and ensure deeper silage depth to prevent daily molding.
Spread Manure In Winter For Best Fertilizer
Winter exposed fertilizer loses quality before spring. Do not delay applying manure now. Well rotted manure is best, while fresh manure spread in winter should be plowed under in spring to retain fertility. Do not leave manure under barn eaves or in rain.
Ventilation Guidelines for Barns in Cold Weather
Ventilation of barns is essential for mature horses and cattle in cold weather. Do not keep stables warmer than 45 Fahrenheit to reduce disease risk. well ventilated spaces help animals avoid illness compared with overly warm, stagnant environments.
Manure Production Estimates from Dairy Herd
The New York State College of Agriculture reports a dairy herd of 20 cows yields about 120 tons of manure in six months. Exposure in the barnyard during six months can cause 25 to 65 percent of plant food to be lost, with each ton of manure equating to 100 pounds of fertilizer containing 12 percent nitrogen, 5 percent phosphorus, and 10 percent potash.
