PEL 01 NG GRAIN TO DAIRY COWS
ON PASTURE.
fl» M rvw ffouw < re»«» AsncwlturslCette»*.
Whether cows should or should not
be feii grain when grating is yet an
undecided question. Some few dairy-
men believe gram feeding sbould be
practiced while cows are on pasture.
However, it is a common practice to
feed no grain while grazing conditions
are good. Most dairymen are inclined
to think it docs not pay tn feed grain
under such conditions. It is possible,
however, that where thia belief is
held there has been considered only
the direct returns from the grain fed
in milk yield alone, without reference
to other beneficial effects which will
be mentioned later.
Some of the results of experimental
work at different state ex [»criment
stations regarding the matter may be
summarised as follows:
At the Cornell, New York, experi
ment station, in a reason during which
the
pasture waa
very luxurian
throughout the whole summer, excep
for a short time in the middle of th
season, with three cows in each lol.
the total amount of butter fat pro
duced waa almost the same in bo th
lots. In this experiment the grain
fed lot continued to receive the same
ratt>>ti <-n pastur> that they I..» I r<-
ceived during the winter on dry feed,
Another experiment roniucted the
«»me year on soiling with grass alone,
and with gran ami grain showed Jthat
just staiut enough more butter fat was
produced by the grain fed lot to W
for the increased cost of the grain ra
tion. A net profit waa made on the
grain fed lot of 13.70, M cows for five
months.
The next season a similar ex peri-
ment was conducted.
At no time
»luring the season was the pasture lux
uriant. A herd of sixteen cows, pure
! bred and registered Jerseys, was di
vided into two lots of eight rows each
i Lot 1 received grain as follows:
Com meal 2,600 pounds; ( otb>n
seed meal. 1,300 pounds; Bran, 1,300
[rounds. Total, 6.200 pounds.
Ixrl 2 received no grain.
The milk produced by the two lota
was as follows:
Ixrt 1. 22.62» pounds; Ixrt 2. 17.SW7
[rounds. Difference. 4,931 pounds.
It will Ire observed that the grain
fed lot produced nearly five thousand
pounds more milk than the lot getting
no grain, an average daily difference
of about three and one half [wunda |>er
cow. This waa enough more milk ami
butter fat to pay for the increased
cost of the grain ration The grain
fed lot gained 166 pounds live weight
per row, while the rows in the lot re
ceiving no grain gained an average of
113 pounds per cow. a difference of 53
pounds per animal in favor of the
grain fed lot.
The question now
arises whether the increase in milk
flow and the gain in live weight of
ls»t 1 over Lot 2 would have any in
fluence on the milk flow of the follow
ing year. The data compiled the yrar
following, when all the animals were
on pasture alone allowed that the cows
in the former grain-fed lot produced
16.2 per cent more milk than the cows
in the former check lot not fed grain.
It seems reasonable to assume that
this increased production waa due to
the grain fed curing the preceding
year, especially in lhe case of the
younger animals.
Indeed it was
plainly evident that the grain fed
two-year-olds and three-year-olds de
veloped into better animals than their
stable mates fed no grain.
Bulletin No. 16 of the North Dakota
station reports as follows :
Two lota of two cows each wero fed
grain with pasture, and pasture only,
in alternating periods of two weeks
The pasture was composed of mixed
tame grasses and clover and was of
good quality.
The grain used was bran and shorts.
There was an inreaae in the yield of
butter fat and a small gain in flesh
when the grain was fed. The gain in
the butter fat yielded came from an
increased milk flow, as no increase in
the percentage of fat was shown. The
financial statement showed a net profit
of $7.60 from feeding the grain.
The considerations that arise in the
effort to determine whether grain
should be fed or not are of so elusive
a nature that it is scarcely possible to
arrive at conclusions that may be re
garded as final when sitting in judg
ment upon them. If it were only a
question of increased milk production
in relation to the cAt of the grain fed
the problem would be easy, but in
addition are lhe influences exerted by
the previous feeding of the cow, and
by the residual effects from feeding
grain on further production.
The
saving effected in pasture, the feeding
value of the increased yield of skim
milk, and the added fertility of the
land must also be considered. That a
cow turned into pasture in a lean con
dition of flesh would profit more from
gram fed than one in i good condition
of flesh, would seem reasonable, even
in the absence of determining proof.
That the grain fed tends to increase
