go to loose housing or a free stall setup for their milking cows but are worried that this might mean less efficient milk production in these types of housing it is impossible to feed each cow acc ording to her individual produc tion the animals are not tied and eat where they can find a spot at the feed rack does this mean wasted feed and lower milk output not in large herds where cows can be grouped according to their production says bj curtis of the canada department of agri cultures research station and he has three years of research at cda establishments at frederic- ton charlottetown normandin and kapuskasingto back him np mr curtis says cows selffed a mixture of chopped hay and grain produce as much milk and do it as efficiently as when they are fed hay treechoice with grain fed according to her pro duction level or when ted accord ing to individual production i at the four cda locations cows producing 40 to60poundsof milk a day were tested over a 300day lactation period on one of three feeding systems in the first system cows were fed according to individual pro duction hay was fed freechoice plus one pound of grain for each four pounds of four per cent fat- corrected milk produced in the second system cows were fed hay freechoice the amount of grain was determined by the average herd production and fed at the same rate as the first system in the third feeding plan chop ped hay and grain were mixed to gether in a definite ratio and fed freechoice the ratio was two and a half pounds of hay for each 100 pounds of average body weight for all cows at 180 days after freshening mixed with one pound of grain for each four pounds of four per cent fat corr ected herd average milk produc tion except at one stati on where the hay was only of average quality the
