Several disorders including acetonemia
(Ketosis), displaced abomasum, retained
placenta, metritis, and udder edema may occur
soon after calving.Many of these can be avoided
or their incidence decreased through proper dry
cow management.
ACETONEMIA (KETOSIS) - acclimatize the.
cow to a grain ration before- freshening by lead
feeding; avoid fat dry cows; and allow the.cow
plenty of exercise.
DISPLACED ABOMASUM (TWISTED
STOMACH) - don't feed .high levels of grain at
any time during the dry period; feed at least half
of the dry matter intake as long dry hay during
.the dry period; avoid fat dry cows; and provide
palatable feeds near calving.
RETAINED PLACENTA AND METRITIS -
a clean dry calving area and clean hands
and arms to as.sist.at calving; and avoid fat dry
cows.•
UDDER EDEMA - don't feed high salt rations
to dry cows ; don't feed more than 3-4 kgs. of
grain per day before calving; allow cow plenty of
exercise; for problem cows, use a net typegudder
support from two weeks before calving until it is
no longer necessary; avoid fat dry cows.

Growth promoting ear implants increase beef
cattle rate of gain about 10 percent, increase feed
efficiency and reduce cost.
Tests show implanted cattle will gain 25-35
pounds more on pasture tilin non -implanted
cattle.
Synovex and Ralgro are implants licensed for
use in Canada. Synovex 5 is available for steers
from 600 to 1,000 pounds and Synovex I-1 for
heifers weighing 400 to 800 pounds. Ralgro can be
used on sucklin.g, growing and finishing cattle.
Implants are not cleared for use on breeding
stock. There is a withdrawal time between
implant and slaughter of 65 to 70 days. Young
Cattle can be re -implanted 100 to 110 days after
first implant to maximize benefits.

Gerry Fortune, first vice-
president of the Huron
County Federation of
Agriculture says about
the 30 million dollar fund,
"It's going to help some
people in the short term.
It gives a breathing
space -.But what's going -
to happen at the end of
December when .-the
• subsidy is lifted?
"What we need is long
term commitment frnrn •
the government which we
haven't received in the
past. We need help to
solve the problem of high
input costs and low return
for our commodities."
The. mechanics of the
program will be
developed next week by a

organization devoted to

There are two major
criteria to be fulfilled
before the Action Kit can
be used.
Firstly. there must be a
willing group of con-
cerned citizens who wish
to "adopt" a stream and
with the consent of lan-
downers, improve and
maintain it.
Secondly, '• they must
