There's Increased
Feeding Efficiency
for You in Shur• Gain
Bulk Feed Service
You need hardly be reminded that
livestock farming is a highly competi-
tive business .. . that to succeed today,
production costs have to be controlled
today, in every way possible.
Feed costs, labour, time . . . these
are all costs of production that you can
probably reduce even more, If your
herd or flock is large now, and likely to
expand further, start calculating the
production savings made possible by
bulk feeds handling.
Behind SHUR •GAIN BULK FEED
SERVICE is years of experience in
feeding herds and flocks that number
in the thousands. That experience is
yours for the asking. Would you like
to talk it over ?

Over forty-five Western
Ontario farmers attended the two
day swine short course at Cen-
tralia College recently. The
topics under discussion were
Marketing, Breeding, Barn
Equipment and Health.
Eric Anderson, past president
of the Canadian Pork Council
noted the strengthening Ontario
pork price in line with rising U.S.
prices. Canadian pork con-
sumption rose another 10 percent
in 1971 which may reflect a
change in eating habits.
Local retailer, Jim Darling,
participating in a panel
discussion on pork marketing,

managed the operation. The beef
futures market was described by
Securities of Canada Ltd.,
London.
"Feeding high priced calves"
was the topic for John Forsyth,
London and Doug Jamieson,
Centralia College. Emphasis was
placed on accurate ration for-
mulation, feed mixing, use of non
protein nitrogen and proper
mineral and vitamin sup-
plementation.
Ralph McCartney, beef cattle
specialist, Guelph, compared the
profitability of various weights
and types of cattle for finishing.
Graeme Hedley, Toronto, noted
that the responsibility for in-
suring cattle in transit rests with
the owner except where the
trucker has insurance for
delivery to the specified point of
delivery or notifies his insurance
company of the pickup and
delivery point.
However, many truckers do not
carry other than liability in-
surance which is generally in-
sufficient to compensate for the
loss of a load of cattle.
Hedley also pointed out that

for minute traces of residues

Drug Directorate, He warned
that producers should be extra
careful to observe the 48 hour
withdrawal period before
slaughter. "We can live a two day
withdrawal but seven days as in
the U.S. would make it very
difficult" he said.
Dr. Dick Roelofson, Exeter
veterinarian, advocated better
service for the beef producers by
the railways. Lengthy waits
over the weekend, delays in
unloading and loading at Win-
nipeg and lack of knowledgeable
help were blamed for many of the
health problems faced by Ontario
feedlot owners when they buy
western calves,
Housing systems for finishing
cattle were compared by Hawk
Hellman, agricultural engineer,
Walkerton. Initial investment
and the problem of manure
disposal are important factors in
