SWITCH TO BARLEY
Have you switched to growing
more barley and less oats for
feed because of barley's higher
yeild of energy' per acre? Many
artmers have, especially where
it is difficult to get top yields
of grain corn, A great many
dairymen hesitate to grow
barley as a major crop because
they fear the dangers of using
too touch barley in dairy rations,
Barley is not as palatable a
feed as corn or oats, and it is
for this reason that the 4xperts
suggest a maximum of 00 per
cent of the total grain mix shout(
be barley under tionnal circum-
stances. In unusual situations,
however, you can safely go unicl
higher on the barley.
It is a good idea to roll the
barley or grind it coarsely. Fine,
ly ground `barley tends to become
floury and even less palatable,
If your ration is very high in
barley, watch the high producers
closely to be sure they are eat-
ing as much grain as they should.
Researchers in the Animal
Science Department at the
University of Guelph took a
group of cows being milked
10 a milking parlor and started
them on a grain niix with barley
making up 25 percent of the
cereal grain in the mix along
with corn and some oats. They
then increased the barley con-
tent to 50 percent, later to
75 percent, and finally changed
to a mix composed only of •
barley and protein supplement.
In this test they encountered
no problems of any kind with
the high barley rations, includ-
ing palatability. The cows
continued to eat their usual
amounts of grain while being
milked in the parlor.
Just the same, the Guelph
researchers recommend that as
insurance against low palatability
it is a good idea to use GO per-
cent barley and .40 percent corn
and oats in the nix.
Barley is almost as high in
energy as dry corn, but is
higher in protein, being about
the same protein level` as oats.
If you are calculating the figures
for your own ration, allow 1::
percent protein and 78 percent
T,D,N, for barley.
Barley yields average higher
than oats on a pounds per acre
basis in Ontario, In addition,
barley is rated at 78 percent

T,D,N„ compared with only
