Nurseries
for
Calves
With the increase in
O ntario's dairy population
over the years, dairymen
now have many more calves
to deal with than pre-
viously. This has created
problems with housing and
with diseases transmitted
to the young calves from
the main herd. One solut-
ion to this has 'been a calf
nursery, where the calves
ai e in a separate building
from the main herd.
_ Calves are born with
very little immunity to dis-
ease. Until two or three
months of age; they can
fall victim toailments such
as scours or virus pneu-
. monla, The problem is
more critical when the
'calves are not separated
from the cows or other
livestock.
A livestock specialist
with the Ontario Depart-
ment of Agriculture and
Food estimates that up-
wards of $6 million worth
of calves die each year.
He determine:s this by tak-
ing a l5q• mortality rate
and , multiplying it times
Ontario's dairy population
'of over 900,000 times an
average value of $50 per
calf. Therefore, a building
arrangement for the calves
soon pays for itself with
calves saved. (Department

Owing to the prevelance of influ-
enza in the area, and to prot&t our
residents, the Home Physician has or.
dered Huronview closed to visitors,
until further notice.
If' the necessity arise's, families of
residents will be contacted by tele-
phone.
Two years ago, when there were
many ea:1es of, flu in the area, we
closed the Home 'to visitors, and we
believe that it was due to 'the public's
excellent 'co-operation that a'. serious . -
epidemic among our residents was
prevented.

With low prices for Market
hogs in relation to cost of pro-
duction, every Method of lower-
ing costs is teeing examined to-
day. --Feed accounts for 65 to 75%
of the cast of swine production, so
it must be look at closely. Un-
fortunately, there is no magic
formula to use when considering
on-farm feed preparation versus
purchased feed. ConditiOns vary.
In general, it 'will not likely be
economical to instal complete
feed processing equipment when
less than 100 tons of complete
feed are processed per year‘
However, there may be excep-
tions.
The following factors should
be considered:
Type of equipment: Grinders,
Mixers, scales, bins, augersb etc.
Usually the basal grain is ground
and mixed 1,vitVsupplenrents con-
taining petireins, minerals and
vitamins, so ' a combination of
grinding and mixing equipment is
required. Individually fed sows
may be. hand fed, the grain top-
dressed with, the appropriate am-
ount of supplement. The same
may apply to floor feeding of pigS
in groups, although research in-
formation is larking.
Rolled barley .or corn is as
good as the same grain in ground
form. • Roll ing equipment ha s lug
er power requirrnents, per for
feed processed, than, Tramn
mills or grinders.
Cost of equipment: The cost
of .owning equipment (initial cost
depreciation, interest, space and
storage) as well 'as operating
costs(repairs,powqr,labor)niust
be considered. Frequently' Mese
factors are um ttell in caH.culating
costs. Can th same amount of
capital be invested in another fac-
et of the operation and return
more on the investment?
Cost of ingredients: Unless
one is acquainted with types of
feeflstuffs, their nutritional value
and their sources and priees,any
cost advantage of on-farm , feed
processing may be lost through'
unwise purchases., Feed manu-
facturers can perform an econ-
omical service to livestock feed-
ers through large bulk purchases
and bulk handling. In order tube
competitive, the livestock feeder
must do likewise, either by feed-
ing sufficient quantities or com-
bining purchases with that of
neighbours. Adequate supple-
mentation of swine diets with
minerals and vitamins should not
cost more than iapproximately $6
per ton of complete feed. Pre-
mixes are aYaliable from reliable
feed manufacturers.
• Adequate economical diets
-can be prepared using basal
grains (corn, barley, wheat), pro-
tein supplement (soybean meal),
and vitamin-trace mineral pre-
mixes. Substitutions may be
made If they are nutritionally and
economically sound. Do not be-
come fascinated with complex
mixtures and secret ingredients.
Cost comparisons should be
based on cost per ton of process-
ed feed of equivalent nutritional
value at the farm, whether it is
purchased or' made of the fargie
Homegrown feed must be priced
at market value at thp farm.
Comparisons must be made on
each individual set of circum-
stances, and not based on theory.

always pays to compare' prices
on different brands carrying the
