"W e have just completed palatability trials with three frozen ryegrass species and are evaluating the effect of sup plementary protein on con sumption of ryegrass straw ,” Church said. “ We are about to start a new feeding experiment with cattle to test the palatability of hair meal, mostly hair of hogs which is 30 per cent protein. ’* Soon Church and his colleagues also w ill be evaluating the dried bacterial sludge from pulp m ill effluents "W e are excited about the possibilities because 20 mills in Oregon and Washington each produce about 13 tons of the sludge daily and when dried it is about 45 per cent protein," Church said The electronic gate helps because It is easy to record the intake of animals since the neck device can be adjusted so each anim al can eat from only one trough or all Or only certain animals wearing the necklace can have access to special feeds The cows learn to operate their new equipment quickly " It only takes about two days to train them, even fresh from the range,” said Cliff Larkin, herdsman "T he animals eat frequently — 10 to IS times a day — but not much at a tim e."
