Farm manure serves as a fertilizer containing nitrogen phosphorus and potash. Storing manure in moist loose piles in the barnyard causes rapid decay and heating, leading to loss of organic matter and volatilization of nitrogen.
Milk Secretion Process in Cow Udder Capacity Shown Beltsville Farm
A USDA study at Beltsville Maryland by W W Swett shows cows can hold 11 to 20 quarts in the udder, contradicting the belief of a 0.5 pint capacity. Post mortem milking of two cows revealed that 85 percent and about 50 percent of normal milk production can be stored in the udder. The work suggests milk secretion is largely a continuous process and emphasizes the mammary gland as key to dairy output.
