A Modern Dairy Cattle Feeding Program

Using Feed Information on the Farm

The Beacon Milling Company, Cayuga, New York

ABSTRACT

Over the past three decades research workers, as profoundly typifled by Dr. Huffman and Dr. Reid, who have presented papers at this Symposium, have researched and reported many significant findings in the subject matter area of dairy cattle nutrition. When we view the present U. S. average yearly per cow production of 7,004 lb. in the light of nutritional information available and the stepped-up genetic production potential, as brought about to a large degree by our artifieial breeding associations, I believe we can only conclude that a supreme challenge is at hand for all of us vitally concerned with stimulating dairymen to effectively utilize the dairy cattle feeding information now at hand.

Agricultural extension workers have carried the primary responsibility for this monumental task of making dairymen aware of, encouraging them to try and adopt, new practices on their farms. Today, I am convinced that extension dairy specialists have a large group of men giving them a significant assist—these men are employed by feed manufacturers throughout the United States.
