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.

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.

Brand name's are often help-' ful in selecting quality products too. Some processing firma use tine brand name on their best quality products and another on those of lower quality. Some stores have`their own brand name on products which are sometimes offered at attractive prices. It always pays to compare' prices on different brands carrying the same grade name because they should be' of similar quality.
