Milk Production
May Be Down —
Milk production may be re
duced this winter because of the
low quality hay which is being
fed, according to University of
Nebraska dairymen. They point
out that hay which has lost its
leaves and color has lost much of
its feeding value. Rain during the
haying season reduced the qual
ity of much of Nebraska^ hay
crop. The dairymen say that if
the quality of the roughage is
low, it’s necessary to replace the
required nutrients from the grain
ration. But, they add, regardless
of the quality of the roughages—
hay or silage—they still are the
backbone of the dairy ration. The
roughages, they say, should be
fed liberally to cows and the ani
mals should have a chanceto
pick out the better parts. The
rest of the hay can be used for
bedding.
