/ureaay more torage samples have been submitted by Rappahannock farmers for analysis than during all of last winters feeding period. Bravo! And congratulations to H. L. Manwarlng...3 samoles: B, J. Veirling. . . 3 samples; James Moss...one sample; and Floyd Hltt..2 samples. Analysis results really can mean a savings.' Forages are high and scarce. With the test results even greater accuracy in figuring the amount of grain, (which is cheaper on a TDN basis), necessary to add to the forage in computing a dally ration is possible!
A forage sample, with a little care, is easy to take. Your county agent has the tool to loan and will gladly Instruct anyone on its use. Let’s Do Arithmetic Situation 1. Farmer A has mixed clover and orchard grass hay. Analysis results on this day: 48.6% Total Digestible Nutrients and 3. 6% Digestible Protein. Based on experience he figures he has enough hay to allow each cow lOlbs./ day. He can get #3 corn @ $2.00 per 100 lbs. (79% TDN and 7% Digestible Protein). Requirements per dry beef cow per day: TDN - 9.7 pounds per day, and .80 lbs. digestible protein. PROBLEM A. How much corn per day must he feed to offset the reduced hay allowance and yet meet nutrient requirements of the cow? B. With hay selling @ $45.00 T., is this the cheapest ration he can feed? Mail, or call, your answers to your county agent’s office Replies will be kept confidential.
