Timothy Hay Loses Caste Among Dairymen
The article notes timothy hay declines in dairying due to stronger competition. Michigan Agricultural College feeding trials compare roughage values in the owl ration using a 1,200 pound cow. Results show shifting grain needs: timothy with 2 pounds hay requires 11 pounds grain. oat straw needs similar totals with adjustments in silage and grain. Substituting clover or alfalfa hay lowers grain requirements.
