TIM LUCKNOW SENTINEL, L.UCKNOV4 ONTARIO BRUCE COUNTY FARM- REPORT CAN WE FEED ,FOR FERTILITY? -from "Fertility &„ Sterility" - Hoard's DaIryinan. .".The nutrients required ,'for reproduction are those required for many other body procesies, •To the best or our knowledge, 'there is no single nutrient required for repro- duction that is not also required for growth, or ,.for milk secretion. ...One of the most common for9is of. nutritional infertility results from an insufficient supply of ' energy, , that is, from partial starvation. Many experiments have shown that underfeeding heifers seriously delays sexual maturity. Once the slightly underfed heifer reachei puberty,, her fertility is apparently normal. NumerouS reports have shown that ptunted heifers or those in poor condition, are likely to have infantile ovaries, irregular heat periods, and deciclely lower fertil.; ity. -In severe starvation, the estrus cycle ceases. "Hollow belly" occurs most • frequently in heifers, and is often associated with internal and exter- nal parasites. Many dairymen simply pasture yearling heifers all summer. . There is a strong tendancy to forget those heifers until it comes time to breed them. Then the herdsman may find that the heifers look thin and do not come into standing heat. The vast majority of these difficulties can be prevented or cured with an adequate grain ration combined with an effeetivelparasite- ,control program. ....Studies have/ shown that heifers fed adequate roughage with a minimum of grain (2 pounds per day) will reach breeding size 'by 12 months of age. Holstein heifers gaining a minimum of 115 pounds daily from birth to calving can calve at 24 months of age weighing 1,100 pounds or more after calving.

However, the requirements vitamins and Tinier* during late pregnancy are quite critical. Unfortunately; the dry period is one time when some dairymen 'skimp on feeding. A dry period-of at least 55 days is essential so' thatthe cowcan build , up a reserve of nutrient o supply the. tremendous nutriti e demands during the, next lactat n, From' the standpo t of the developing calf, adequa vitamins and minerals are important.

They are harvested when immature, ,before the rinds and seeds begin to harden.
