Dairy farmers looking for a
method to boost profits should
pay close attention to protein
levels in the herd diet.
Dr. Donald E. Waldern, a
dairy cattle nutritionist at the
Canada Agriculture Research
Station at Agassiz, B.C. boosted
profits by 40 cents a cow a day
by increasing the protein level in
rations.
He found that a combination
of corn silage, hay and grain
wasn't providing enough protein
to nine cows at the Agassiz
Research Station.
An analysis of the corn silage
showed that it contained only
five percent protein on a
moisture free basis. (The
estimated level was 71/2 percent.)
Dr. Waldern boosted the
protein level by feeding soybean
meal. For the nine cows, he
increased profits by $3.60 a day
— and that's the profit after he
paid for the soybean meal.
Dr. Waldern says dairy
farmers can find out if their herd
is eating enough protein by
asking for a protein analysis of
the ration they are now feeding.
"Turn to your district or
county agriculturalist or the
nutritionist from your feeding
company for the analysis," says
Dr. Waldern. "They can also
help in giving advice about the
correct protein level for your
herd's grain ration."
Heavy producers can be
supplemented individually with
one to two pounds of soybean
meal, but the total ration should
be balanced for protein.
"When cows are fed corn
silage made from present
varieties as the major forage and
limited non-legume hay, they
need an 18 to 20 percent crude
protein ration," says Dr.
Waldern.
"As the amount of legume
hay (clovers and alfalfa) is
increased and the corn silage is
decreased, the protein content
of the grain ration can be
reduced.
"However, cows will still not
get enough protein unless grain
is fed in suitable amounts —
about one pound of grain for
every 2.7 to three pounds of
milk when the cow is producing
during the peak of her lactation.
"Later in the lactation, when
production is dropping, the ratio
can be dropped back to one
pound of grain for every four
pounds of milk. The same
reduced ratio can apply to lower
producers."
In the Agassiz experiments,
Dr. Waldern found that extra
protein produced the most
dramatic milk increases for the
heavy producers.
"Within six days of adding
two pounds of soybean meal
daily, production for two of our
cows shot up from 90 to 102
pounds a day. Only one of the
nine cows failed to respond to
the extra protein."
The average production of
the nine cows increased from 66
to 77 pounds a day, That's a 17
percent increase.
The cows were receiving free
choice whole plant corn silage
plus 10 pounds of local grass hay
before Dr. Waldern added the
soybean meal as supplemental
protein. They were also eating a
15 percent protein grain ration
fed at the rate of one pound of
grain for every three to 31/2
pounds of milk.
"A number of cows should
have been milking about 90
pounds a day or better,
according to previous records
they established," says Dr.
Waldern, "But, on corn
silage-hay-graia diet they were
only milking about 80 pounds a
day.
"That's when we decided to
should be answered by the guest
speaker at this year's Federation
of Agriculture banquet.
The annual dinner will be
held at the Londesboro Hall on
Wednesday, Novermber 26 at
11.30 a.m. The annual meeting
slated to get underway at 1.30
with all residents of Huron
invited to attend.
The guest speaker will be Don
White, Public Relations Officer
for the Bruce Nuclear Power
Centre where he is responsible
for public relations for the
Atomic Energy of Canada
Limited and Ontario Hydro.
White is a graduate of
Ryerson Polytechnieal Institute
and joined Ontario Hydro in
1957 as Supply Division's
Employee Sales Group.
The Bruce Nuclear Power
Centre at Douglas Point has
claimed a lot of farming people
for its work force and Mr. White
will speak on the problems
involved in trying to have
agriculture and industrial
development work hand in hand,
Elmer Hunter, president of
the Huron Federation has
extended a sincere personal
welcome to all persons
interested in fanning to attend
the annual meeting.
The agenda for the annual
meeting has again been kept very
simple to allow plenty of time
for a question and answer period
with the guest speaker.
The election of six
directors-at-large and a
discussion of a change of
constitution will be the only
other matters listed on the
agenda.
The directors hope that
everyone attending the meeting
will have read all the reports of
the commodity groups and will
come prepared to ask any
questions on the reports or the
financial statement.
Farmers warned of
hazards of winter
With winter coming up fast,
yards and lanes will soon be
blocked with snow. Many
farmers will be making their own
snowblowers — and while they
may do an excellent job of
clearing the way, they can also
be hazardous.
Oscar Snyder, Safety
Coordinator with the Farm
Safety Council of Ontario, notes
that many snowblowers do not
have shields over their power
takeoff. This can be very
dangerous, and farmers using
snow blowing equipment should
ensure their P.T.O. is well
guarded.
Mr. Snyder also po:nts out
that blowers should always be
stopped if they plug, so that
clearance of the mechanism can
be carried out safely.
Mr. Snyder reported that a
survey conducted by the Farm
Safety Council this past summer
showed that 23% of all P.T.O.
shields on manure spreaders
were not in place or were not
working properly. Because this
piece of equipment is used a
great deal in winter, the danger
of getting heavy or loose
clothing caught in an unguarded
P.T.O. is very real. Several
farmers have been maimed and
injured this way.
Farmers should take the
trouble to check their shields
and guards and, if necessary,
take time out to repair them.

production."
All nine cows were in the
flush of production — between
20 and 54 days after freshening.
"In our case, we put money
in our pockets by running a
protein check on our rations,"
says Dr, Waldern. "It may be the
answer for other dairymen in
Canada who have hit a
production plateau, especially
with their better producing
cattle."

hold a six-session course for beef
cattlemen of Huron county

Top seedman
is honored
The late Alex M. Stewart of
Ailsa Craig, one of Canada's best
known seed breeders, has been
inducted in the Canadian
Agricultural Hall of Fame.
Portraits of Mr. Stewart and
,Gilbert MacMillan of Howick,
Que., were unveiled Sunday by
Agriculture Minister H. A. Olson
in the hall's portrait gallery at
the entrance to the Royal Winter
Fair Coliseum,
Mr. MacMillan was prominent
in the livestock field both as a
breeder of Ayrshire cattle and a
leader in dairy organizations.
Mr. Stewart, who died in
1967, received national acclaim
in 1937 by winning the world's
championship in oats at the
International Livestock and
Grain Show. He repeated the
victory again 10 years later.
But he was best known as a
grower, processor and
merchandiser of pedigreed seed,
In these areas he introduced
several new varieties which
contributed significantly to
Canada's agricultural economy.
Mr. Stewart served on the
boards of several agricultural
organizations and was the first
president of the Ontario Soil and
Crop Improvement Association.
Between 1944 and 1947, he was
president of the Canadian Seed
Growers Association and in
1949 was awarded the
Robertson Associate Award, the
highest honor the seed growers
association can bestow upon a
member.
The firm that Mr. Stewart
founded — Alex M. Stewart and
Son — is still operated in Ailsa
Craig by his son John A., well
known in the agricultural
industry in his own right.

Close confinement of cattle in a feedlot brings
new problems. Stress from digestive upset and,
of course, gorging. Combat these problems, as
so many have done, by feeding Shur-Gain
Feedlot Starter Medicated full fed for the
first four days, then swing gradually into
Shur-Gain aeef Finishing Ration over the
next 12 days.
Shur-Gain Feedlot Starter Medicated can
