E S. S Harrison sa says s 's that medium clover mixed hay and corn silage a 16 10 per cent protein concentrate concen coneen mixture of grain ga gave gae e as much milk as a 20 O or 24 4 per cent mixture I and that there was no evidence e of any stimulating effect of protein on milk secretion also that the total digestible digesti digesti- ble blo nutrients In the low v protein ration were utilized by the cows with the same efficiency that the high protein i ration showed the meaning of ot this being I that 16 10 per cent protein content Ifs Is not low enough to effect the balance I of a n a dairy ration so as ns to reduce the tile relative e efficiency of its other Ingre Farmers who raise their own oats and barley will be further benefited i t because they will be able to use a much larger proportion of home grown I grains when mixing their own dairy rations Whereas It ft was necessary In mixing a ton fon of 24 4 per cent protein concentrate ration mUon to use about 1200 pounds of expensive high protein feeds for every pounds of home home- home grown rown grains such as ns ground oats and barley it It Is now known as a result of the experiment that a very satisfactory dairy ration with a 10 16 per cent protein content may be ml mixed ed using only pounds of the high protein feeds for every 1 1200 OO pounds of ground oats and barley |
