ROWCLIFFE MOTORS Seaforth Ontario ilY DR,.TED ROTHMEL, ASSOC. REF., • ' 'Management of the ow during the dry period is one areg, which is greatly under- scored.. Many problems that •occur around calving eun affect subsequent reproductive performance,. Before calving 'the cow's system is geared to provide enough no.,,kh went for her and her unborn call After calving. her system is stepped up to prodit,v large amounts of milk, a very she change. As a result of the stress. she is more vulnerable to .potential problems around calving. 'Depending on production level and length of the previous lactation. cows should have a dry period of approxiMately 50-d) days. Over feeding during this dry period results in "fat cow syndrome.- . Cows in the'dry period should be fed only to maintain good body condition, but not be over-conditioned. If a high energ% ration such as corn silage is fsd. it sluinld be limited. Protein, calcium and phosphi need to be checked closely also. Feeding too much-calcium may lead to a high incidence of milk fever. Too much protein may lead to "downer cow" problems. It is necessary to design rations specifically for dry covvs"and . then gradually shift from this dry cow ration to one contai n g- som protein-(-8-10 % low calcium, high phosphorus the. last 10-14 days. If your herd has been plagued with problems at calving or shortly thereafter, sit back and, evaluate your dry cow and calving) management practices. By producing a good cow ration and adhering to it, a beneficial effect on reproductive performance. milk production during the subsequent lactation. as well as lowered, calf losses. may be the end result. • • If help is 'desired' in • sots mg up' a dry' cow feeding program. Dr. f. 0 Pothole-I should be contacted at The Minist grieultute and Food. PROTEIN. SOLUBILITY Questions have been asked recently about protein solubility. This is a relatively new concept which recognizes differences in the manner in which protein sources can be utilized by the cows and thus help dairymen increase milk production. Solubility of the protein is an indicator, of, -how much good a4cow" can get from the .:. supplement fed for pro tieing milk., The lower the sdu o 4 certain (butt as yet undefined) level, the better the utilization. Highly soltible proteins are rapidly de- graded in the • rumen and converted to bacterial protein or lost as ammonia.. On the other hand, less soluble proteins arc slowly degraded and partially by pass the rumen to' the lower digestive tract. This results id better utilization of protein by the cow in producing milk. The better utilized, less soluble proteins are contained in soybean meal. dried brewers' grain's. beet pulp and Highly.solublOproteins which. are -not •• utilized as well are contained in dried milk, enra..giuteu feed. dried distillers' grains. 11 heat grain and oats. , Rations with 70 to ,25% protein solubility may be formidatoci from feed stuffs that -*are.. readily available t / corn silage supple- mented v‘ ith a corn - soybean meal concentrate is- in the optimum range of protein solubility. • Mr. Riddell complained that letters from lawyers recommending deputy registrar Frank Hagan of Goderich for the position and a recommendition of Mr. Riddell's for the deputy were ignored by the ministry of consumer and commercial relations, responsible for appointing the registrar. Mr. Riddell said the registrar in Goderich had. been acting as registrar before Mr. Lindsay's appointment and has been asked to train the newly- appointed registrar. • au of Nov. 1, had spent 20 The MPP said he didn't years 'in land registration, have any evidence that the serving as the senior deputy appointment was a political one, but he questioned the fact the ministry didn't allow the deputy registrar to apply for the job. The next day, Consumer and Commercial Relations Minister Frank Drea said the new land registrar was given the job "based on •his qualifications and not anything else." Mr. Drea said Mr. Lindsay, who was appointed The method of selecting Huron County's new land registrar was recently questioned in the provincial legislature.. Jack Riddell,MPP for Huron-Middlesex, raised the issue asking why the position wasn't open to competition and "a selection made on the Lcompetency and experience • of applicants rather than by - outright appointment?" A new registrar, James Lindsay, was moved to Goderich from the Toronto land titles office recently. Perth F of A Hears There's an excess flow 'of phosphorus into the Grand River Water System and farmers are a prithe contributor to the problem. Tony Smith, Coordinator of the Grand River Water Management. Study,' told the December meeting of the Perth County •Federation of Agriculture that although farmers aren't the only ones responsible "they are part of the problem". Each year thousands of tons of phosphorous runs off into the Grand river • .system. Phosporous promotes too much . plant growth in the rivers, thus depleting the oxygen and "if it gets bad enough you have near septic conditions". The Gtand River Water Management. Study has determined that about 50 per cent of the Phosphorus loading to the Grand River basin is • contributed by Agriculture. Of that 50 per cent, only about 10 per cent of the land is allowing this run-off. "That's the land adjacent to 01. stream beds" said Smith. With results compiled frOm the Pollution from Land Use Activities Reference Group (PLUARG) and . the. Grand River Basin Study: the Grand River Conservation Authority, is in the process of evaluating just how much phosphorus dumps into the 26,000 square mile basin each year. The study isn't complete yet but Smith said the cures to the problem are already evident. • Farmers could' help reduce this flow of phosphorus by planting "buffer strips" along drains ,and waterways, "ThiS is just planting grass between, the river and the farmer's crops" id Smith. The buffer strip s as a filter , to impede the flow of phosp orus to the water. "Of course strip croppi g is another very, useful method" he sai . Smith concluded his t lk with the Federation members by say .ing that although Agriculture is responsible for much of the phosphorus run-off that "This is only one source". He said the urban dweller and the sewage treatment plants all fit into the phosphorus pollution problem. Mr, Doe's subscription expires the first of December 1978.
