Feeding hay to
stops butterfat
BY ANNETTE MOORE
DAIRY CATTLE SPECIALIST
Spring turns the heart to lighter
thoughts and carefree action, but
wait... they can cost! Turning cows
out onto fresh, lush, unlimited
pasture can cause your butterfat to
plummet needlessly.
To prevent a plummeting butter
fat on pasture, there are three
simple management procedures
you can do:
1. Limit the number of hours on
pasture during the first week,
2. Feed a minimum of 1.5 - 2 kg.
David Jones of RR 2, Clinton
was the top Intermediate judge,
picking up the Cargill Fertilizers of
Clinton award. Margaret Cronyn of
RR 2, Blyth and Renay Taylor of RR
2, Auburn, were tied for second.
The CIL Trophy for first place in
the senior category went to Lisa
Hern of RR 1, Woodham. Fred
Peel, RR 1, Auburn was second and
Michael Hern of RR 1, Woodham
and Lana Jones, RR 2, Clinton were
tied for third.
Overall top judge, winner of the
UCO trophy was Lisa Hern of RR 1,
Woodham.
A total of 91, 4H members
shivered their way through the
competition.
cattle
drop
of long, good quality hay per cow
per day before turning the cows
out, and,
3. Provide hay out in the pasture
in a shaded, well-frequented loca
tion.
Providing long hay improves the
“effective fiber” content of the
ration and as a result helps to
maintain rumen conditions that are
more favourable for butterfat pro
duction. By following these three
simple rules, your advancement
into summer will be rpuch less
depressing (in more ways than one)
and definitely more joyous! Have a
safe and successful spring!
