Show VALUABLE HINTS FOR DAIRY Overfeeding Causes More Trouble Than Underfeeding Make Change to Skim Milk Gradual. (By H. H. KILDEE, University Farm, St. Paul.) In rearing and developing dairy heifers : Don't overfeed. Twice as many calves are stunted by overfeeding as by underfeeding. Don't change suddenly from whole to skim milk. Don't keep calves in damp, dark, crowded, poorly ventilated barns. Don't feed milk in dirty pails. Don't be irregular as to time of feeding, feed-ing, temperature or amount of milk. Don't feed too much alfalfa hay before be-fore the calf is three months old. Don't let calves suck each other after drinking milk. They should be placed in stanchions and fed grain. Don't make calf go without water because it has had milk. Don't let calf drink foaming milk just from the separator. |
