Wouldn't it be nice to be able to compare
your cost of production with averages ob-
tained from other farmer's figures?
Ontario farmer's figures have been used
for years for comparative analysis purposes
and these confidential records are used to
arrive at averages.
Each farmer's individual figures are
printed back to him so he can compare his
costs and returns with the other farmers in
his particular enterprise.
In 1982, financial analysis records were
completed on 27 beef feedlots, 27 cash crop
farms, 104 dairy farms, 33 farrow to finish
and 12 swine finishing operations.
From the feedlot sector, it indicated that
in 1982 feed costs were $46.24, bedding,
marketing, trucking, veterinary and
medical were $5.06 for a total of $51.30 per
hundred weight of beef produced for direct
expenses. Indirect expenses, including
machinery, building repairs, car, taxes,
insurance, labour, telephone, hydro and
depreciation and miscellaneous totalled
$18.92 per hundred weight of beef produced.
The total off $70.22 represents the cost off
producing 100 pounds of beef. Cost of in-
terest alone was $10.51.
The same type of analysis is done with all
enterprises analyzed. For example, pigs
produced per sow per year and milk sold per
cow per year are other figures available in
the production area.
Financial analysis showing performance
efficiency, liquidity and solvency,
profitability return on investment,' etc., are
also available, provided adequate in-
formation rm
a on is submitted for the t farm.
The Economics Branch of the Ontario
Ministryof Agriculture g ri
culture and Food welcomes
1983 figures from farmers interested in
participating in this Ontario Farm
Management Analysis Project. Proper
inventory of crops and livestock at the
beginning of the year and year end are
important. Crop harvest figures are
required plus livestock purchases, sales,
births and losses. This information, plus
income and expenses and -depreciation, can
then be put into the final analysis.
Local offices of the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food are pleased to assist
producers interested in participating.
Farming is big business. Why not compare
your figures with averages for the business?
There is no cost for this service. Please
call your local O.M.A.F. office if you are
interested in participating.

New Energy Estimates
For Forages
The University of Guelph Feed Analysis
Lab is pleased to announce the addition of a
new energy predicting service for forage
samples. This new service will estimate the
r
Total Digestible Nutrients ( TUN) and Net
Energy of Lactation (NE(lac)) in hay,
haylage and corn silage samples.
Unfortunatelythere is no direct method
for the lab to measure the TDN or NE(lac)
in a feed sample. Precise energy values are
only available by conducting controlled
feeding trials. Such trials require large
volumes of feed and livestock, not to
mention great time and expense. Since
precise energy measurements are not
practical we are faced with estimating the
energy content of forages as best we can.
There are various methods of estimating
the energy content of your forages. Many
labs use "book values" to estimate the
energy content. By knowing the proportions
of forage species in the sample and their
maturities an energy value may be
predicted. This method is therefore
dependent upon collecting an accurate
description of the sample components.
Some labs estimate the energy content of
a forage after they have conducted a protein
analysis. Research trials have shown a
positive correlation between protein and
energy content in hay and haylage samples
provided the grass -legume composition of
the sample is known. This method has been
used by OMAF's ration balancing service in
the past.
Today, more and more feed analysis labs
are estimating the energy content of forages
by conducting an Acid Detergent Fibre
(ADF) analysis. Of all commonly analyzed
feed components ADF analysis presently
appears to have the strongest correlation to
energy
content in forage e cam les.
Regression equations have been developed
using the ADF analysis results to generate
estimates of TDN or NE(lac). These
equations vary according to the type of
forage analyzed and the region where they
were grown.
Energy values are used routinely in
balancing livestock rations. "Over-
estimating" energy values will result in
rations which will not meet the animals
needs. Low gains, low production and health
problems may develop. If you "under
estimate" the energy content of a forage
then you may overfeed grain. Expensive
over -conditioning often occurs in this
situation.
Obtaining a good energy estimate is
essential to develop a well balanced ration.

University of Guelph Feed Analysis Ser-
vices, contact your local office of the
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food.
