Peyry, Associate' Professor of Animal Husbandry, Purdue University, brought home to us at tlfe Ontario Livestock Conference that Beef Cattle Feed­ ing in Canada is still not too ef­ ficient business. Too many farm­ ers are still not taking advan­ tage of the benefits of the advanc­ ed research that has been carried out in the United States. , Here, in Canada, Food and Drugs Act, not being too concern­ ed with the net profits of the Canadian farmer, has been very unco-operative in permitting any research to be done. Up to date in Canada only one group of cat­ tle has been fed Stibosol or to give its, formal monicker “syn­ thetic di-etljylstilbestrol”. In the United States feeding of Stilbosol is permitted in all states but 2 or 3 according to Dr. Perry', but in Canada the O.’A.C. has just recently been permitted to place 40 steers on test at the College; and according to our .source of information it is doubtful if they will be slaughtered in Canada. They will have to be exported as the other group were to the USA. Surely, the beef industry of Canada is worth more in dollars and cents than 40 steers, and the research of their carcasses for human consumption. In the words of Dr. Perry, no one can afford to stand still es­ pecially in the field of research. True, balanced rations are the secret of high gains and in milk or egg production, but in some cases roughages are going to waste in many stables. He stated that nothing can be gained by carrying beef cattle. It is not profitable, cattle must be gain­ ing and whether they are grow­ ing or fattening is to a great ex­ tent determined- by the type and age of the animals. Purdue Feed specialists now recommend for fastest and most economical .gains — self feeding a balanced ration (To balance the grain was the secret - 1 lb. of protein (Purdue A) to 5 lbs. grain). A full feed recommenda­ tion was 1 lb. of roughage and 2 lbs. of grain perj;wt. 'Self feed­ ing corn silage was recommended especially to yearlings. In this, recommendation no grain was fed but 3i lbs. of New Purdue Supplement A was hand-fed daily. Gains of more than 2 lbs. daily were obtained .in this manner. Grass silage with preservative, (75 lbs. molasses to ton of sil­ age) self-fed along with 5 lbs. grain and 2 lbs. of .Supp. A., gave the researchers 2-2S daily gain. Oat silage, no pre­ servative, cut in the dough stage, gave a lb. daily gain. Sgteers fed .hay only - full feed, gained .87 lbs. daily. When 4 lbs. grain daily was added to the ration gain was 1.37' lbs. and when 1 lb. of soybean meal was used instead of 4 lbs. grain the daily gain was - you guessed it - 1.3 7 lbs. Dr. Perry frankly said, “many feeders stepped over dol­ lars to pick up dimes, especially when feeding growing' rations.’’ He pointed out that when feed­ ing corn in place of wheat, oats and barley the'feeders must keep in mind that the protein level of corn was lower than other grains (check them in your hand­ book). The feeding of corn and cob is sound practice. This makes a mixture of 4/5 corn 1/5 cob by weight, but he stressed that the feeder balance the ration. Cob is only 50% digestible, and very, very losw in protein. Dr. Perry agreed on one point with his Canadian associates. No fancy minerals. Cattle don’t need them if they are healthy. If they are not healthy and thrifty, con­ sult a qualified veterinarian and follow his recommendations for mineral deficiences. Cattle’s main mineral requirement being phos­ phorous, he recommended a 2 to 1 steamed bonemeal-salt mixture. This w'as especially necessary h6 stated in the first two weeks after the arrival of stocker cattle when ........................ I ..................................... .......... they should be held in dryl'ot and receive nothing but average hay— bonpmeaLsalt mixture, water and plenty of rest. Hormone effects have been studied by Purdue, researchers since 1940 at 'which time they began by cutting out part of the thyroid gland. The effect of this operation -was not permanent but the rate of gain increased until such time as the gland regenerat­ ed. The next step was the placing of 48 milligrams capsule under the skin. This method was dis­ continued due to side effects and in July ’5 6 (they were late in getting into the race) stilbestrol was given orally at the rate of 5-10 mill, daily. In 123 day per­ iod 2 year old steers being fat­ tened gave 15% increase in gain and ate 15% less grain per unit. Yearling steers gave 12% in­ crease of gain and calves 19 %• All check groups had approxi­ mately the same saving in feed of 15%. If the government of Canada economist can’t add, we can, and the above figures would show savings of 27-34 %. Figured again, your net profits would be 27-34% greater, and who could­ n’t take that? But the very latest Dr. Perry said is hormone and- antibiotic combinations. These will become more and more important every year, he stated, and hinted that this is the direction the research­ ers are heading at the present time. And well they should, when he quoted the following feed trial results. Feed gained daily ... 2.03 ... 2.25 ... 2.50 lbs.
