FEED ADVISORY PlitOGRAM
ASSESSES FEED QUALITY
Modern animal husbandry re-
quires modern feeding pracices.
The Department of Animal
Science, University of Guelph, in
cooperation with the Ontario be-
pertinent, of Agriculture and Food.
provides a Feed Advisory Pro-
gram to analyze feed and provide
the farmer with a recommend
ation for his livestock operation,
The Feed Advisory Program has
been in operation for three years.
During that period. the Animal
Science Deparment has -analyzed
1,963 feed samples. For 1.971, the
the Department has budgeted for
2,500 samples to match the in-
creased demand for the service.
Mr. Harold Clapp, Livestock
Specialist with the Department,
said the program was initiated to
assist livestock producers to de-
velop feeding programs which
suits their cropping program.
The service, said Mr. Clapp, is
based on a fundamental know-
ledge 'of nutrition and the daily
nutrient requirements of various-
livestock species. The program
considers maintenance of the. an-
imal. and the requirments for
growth, as well as production-and
reproduction.
To assess the 'metal]; crops in
a feeding program, it is necessary
to know both the amount eaten
and the feed quality. There is a
tendency to overestimate both
factors.
to approximately 23% in samples
with the moisture removed. Sneh
a range accounts for the fact that
a farmer may overestimate the
value of the feed. A chemical test
gives him -an accurate idea of the
nutriant value; as well... as the re-
commendations necessary to boost
the nutrient intake if tests indi-
cate it is necessary,
Further information on the pro-
gram may be obtained from
