Maintain a balanced ration whey Early pasture growthis h aImonth, the but declines rapinly• Withinrass can drop from 68 dry matter of spring g percent TDN and 15 percent protein, to 50 percent TDN and seven percent protein. In addition, pasture quality can change drastically from one field to another depen- ding on the type and amount of grasses and legumes present, and the maturity of the stand. It is this variability which creates most of the difficulties of pasture feeding • programs. Dairy producers must react to changes in pasture quality before produc- tion slumps occur. Even short-term, inade- quate feeding practices have a major long term effect on the production of individual cows. The grain mix which complements your pasture feeding program, will depend on the quality of pasture available. Until the end of cows on pasture June, a mix should be deq ate,percentning 14 nbut during sprotein and fall a grain mix of at least 16 per cent pro- tein is required. If only one grain mix is to be fed throughout the pasture season, it is best to overfeed protein in the early stages. A common problem with cows on lush pasture is the change in appetite. To con- sume the dry matter of 30 lbs. (13.5 kg) of hay, a cow may have to eat up to 200 lbs or 90 kg of lush pasture, causing even high pro- ducing cows to fill up, and so refuse grain. This problem can be minimized by changing over to pasture gradually, allowing only a few hours of grazing in the eashortt rlypart im e year. The cows will fill up in a but will digest this, and be ready for grain, and other dry feeds at milking time. Because of the low fibre content, lush pasture often causes a severe drop inbutter- fat test. To avoid this, make dry hay available in a free choice hay feeder. If each cow does not consume at least five lbs. of hay per day, it may be necessary to keep them in the barn longer for hay feeding. During the summer and fall, the quality and quantity of pasture available is often in- adequate to support normal levels of milk production. When pastures decline, be prepared to supplement them from stored feed with hay, haylage or corn silage and adjust the grain mix to balance with these feeds. Ontario Trials with pastured beef cat- tle have shown year after year, that average daily gain decreases drastically after mid- August. In most cases, use of some sup- fltical in the fall production slumps arestore feeds s to be prevented. •bulldozer •backhoe$ *loaders •dump trucks *equipment rentals by hour. or contract Safety should A large number of injuries happen in and around farm buildings.
