Huron Board
Lowers Budget
The Huron County Board of
Education set its 1971 budget
at a net 3.5 per cent below last
year Tuesday night. •
A total of $119, 241 was lop-
ped off the elementary schools
budget while the secondary
schools budget increased by
$22, 012.
In all, the board cut $97, 229
from last year's total while
implementing a new special
educational services program
that meant hiring three extra
guidance teachers, a remedial
reading teacher and possibly
a fourth teacher.
The decision on the special
program held up a final budget
statement. The board became
bogged down at its regular
meeting Monday night on the
financial advisability of getting
fully into the program this year
and ran afoul of its 11 p.m.
curfew. The board reconvened
Tuesday night to finish its work.

Milk Fat Test
(This message is brought to you
through the courtesy of Hensall
District Co -Operative.)
In our last column, we rev-
iewed some of the effects of
roughage on rumen bacteria
activity and the production
of butterfat by the dairy cow.
Generally speaking, the butter-
fat test dropped as roughage
content dropped below 30c7/0 of
the cow's diet.
So in attempting to improve
fat tests, one of the key fact-
ors is the level of roughage
in the ration. Long roughage
(as opposed to ground roughage)
is the most effective way of
avoiding a depression in fat
tests. Under practical condit-
ions, according to UCO nutrit-
ionist Dr. R.A, Costain, 30-40
percent long hay or its equiv-
alent should be fed in the total
roughage. That is, one pound
of long hay equals three pounds
of silage or two pounds of hay-
lage. Daily feeding of 1.5
lb. of hay equivalent per 100
lbs. of body weight will maint-
ain fat tests,
Some research indicates a
total ration level of 1550-16°7o
crude fibre, if the roughage is
not ground, is sufficient to
maintain fat tests.
If•you are feeding low rough-
age diets, some research evid-
ence indicates that more freq-
uent feeding results in more
uniform fermentation of the
carbohydrates.
Experiments using mineral
or plastic substances as a sub-
stitute for roughage, have not
been conclusive.
However, buffers such as
sodium bicarbonate, and mag-
nesium oxide, have been used
to neutralize rumen contents,
for cows on low roughage diets.
At Michigan, a combination
of the two buffers was effective
in maintaining normal fat tests
for cows on low roughage. It
did not improve fat tests of
cows getting adequate roughage
The addition of these miner-
als has led to lowered feed
consumption because they affec.
ration palatability.
