Tests Forage Pelleting, Makes Poor Hay Useable and If you must feed poor qual- ity hay, it may pay to have it ground and pelleted. This is the conclusion of Dr. J. W. G. Nicholson from a study of several sheep feeding experiments he conducted at CDA's Experimental Farm, Nappan, Nova Scotia. Hay pellets are gaining in popularity for several reasons: —lit is easy to mechanize their handling. —They require less storage space. —They are cheaper to trans- port. —And they reduce waste at feeding. Cattle and sheep will usual- ly eat more hay when it is pel- leted than in the baled form. This is particularly true when the hay is of low quality. Offsetting these advantages is the cost of 'grinding and pelleting the forage. The re- sults of the Nappan research help to show when pellerting is economical. Uses of grain, rolled barley and chopped hay were also investigated. Poor Hay Tested A mixed legume-grass hay that had been badly weather- ed during field curing was fed to lambs in pelleted form along with a limited amount of long hay. They consumed a total of 270 lb. in 75 days—double the 137 lb. consumed by lambs Which were fed the same hay "The Famous Adventures of Mr. Magoo" 6:30 Thursday in baled form. The latter did not quite main- tain 'their initial weight but those on pellets gained a quar- ter of a pound per day. This poor quality hay was valued at $15 per ton by Dr. Nicholson, and grinding and pelleting cost $8 per ton. The cost of the feed consumed was $3.02 per amb on pellets and $1.03 per lamb on long hay. The 19 lb. of weight gained by each lamb fed pelleted hay had a feed cost of about $2 or 10.5 cents per pound Of gain. Late Cut Hay Tested Results were quite similar in another experiment using Late cut grass hay, field-cured in good weather. Lambs fed this long hay consumed an av- erage of 119 lb. over and 84- day period while those fed the same hay in pellets consumed 239 lb. The former failed to maintain body weight while those on pellets gained one- tenth of a pound per day. It is difficult to calculate a feed cost for this gain because the lambs fed long hay lost weight. However, pelleting resulted in an increase in feed consump- Clem sufficient to change a weight loss into a gain. Rolled Barley Added Other lambs in this experi- ment were fed long hay and rolled barley. The plan was to feed enough barley toogive gains equal to those of the lambs INSIDE !II 6:30 GREAT SHOWS .. NOW GREATER ON fed the pelleted hay. But it was soon neessary to increase 'the amOunt of rolled barley from the initial level of one- quarter pound up to one-half pound per lamb per day to even approach the gains of those on pellets. The former ate 107 lb. of hay and 34.4 lb. of rolled barley compared with 239 lb. of pellets consumed by the oth- er lambs. Using the same prices for hay and valuing the rolled barley at $70 per ton gives a feed cost of $2.75 for the pellet-fed lambs and $2.01 for the others. Gains by the pellet-fed lambs over 'the 84-day experiment av- eraged 6 lb. more than those fed long hay and barley. The extra gain was put on at a feed cost of 12.3 cents per pound. Feed consumption was not high enough in either of the experiments cited to fatten the lamhs. Timothy Plus Grain Another experiment was con- ducted in which average qual- ity timothy hay was fed with a grain mixture. Pellets were made up with one-third grain and two-thirds hay and this was compared with the same grain and hay fed in the chop- ped form. The average feed consumed over a 50-day period was 186 lb. of pellets by one group of lambs and 75 lb. of chopped hay and 54 lb. of grain by the others. Setting the price for this bet- Warble Grub Control Timely Stockmen checking on their supplies of Co-Ral or Ruelene in preparation for warble grub control will be interested in knowing that entomologists at CDA's research station at Leth- bridge are looking for improv- ed means of eradicating this pest of cattle. J. Weintraub of the Veterin- ary-Medical Entomology sec- tion there says systemic insec- tiddes such as thoSe mentioned give almost complete control and prevent the major damage caused by warble grubs. This is the season to use them. Make Tests In the meantime tests at Lerthbridlge have begun with a view to releasing sterilized mal- es to prevent warble fly repro- duction. Chemicals used do not impair the mating vigor of the males but they prevent fertili- zation of the warble fly eggs. The U.S. Depiartment of Agri- culture scientists have deter- mined the doses of gamma ra- diation required 'to have the same effect. Mr. Weintraub comments that much more research is needed to perfect methods that may be recommended far prac- tical use and he sees systemic ntrols being relied on for sev- eral more years. Careless Parents The Sick Children's Hospital in Toronto reports that in six months they treated 8,534 eases of poisoning in children. Brok- en down, this total includes poisoning from headache tab- lets — 265; other medicine's -- 234; household chemicals and substances including floor clean- er, hair dye and cigarettes 303. ter hay at $18, the grain mix-. tire at $80, grinding the hay at $2 and pelleting the mixed ration at $6 per ton, the feed costs are $4.29 for the pellet- fed lambs and $2.82 'for the others. The gains were 2214 lb. by the pellet-fed lambs and 6% lb. by those fed chopped hay and grain. The extra gains put on by those on pellets had' a feed cost of 9 cents a pound. The very poor results ob- tained from feeding the poor quality hays either baled or chopped were stressed by Dr. Nicholson in summarizing 'these experiments. Their use should be avoided whenever possible, where they must be fed, their value can often be economical- ly improved by pelleting.
