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 county agricultural representa- tives.
