We are often asked to what extent is
alfalfa hay equal to grain. Everybody
wants this answer-not so much by the
chemist as by the COW. a friend of
ours once took four cows Averaging
1000 pounds liye weight. Two differ
ent rations were made up as follows:
80 pounds of silage, II pounds Of alfalfa
hay, pounds of mixed hay and .
pounds of cottonseed meal. The other
consisted of 35 pounds of silagr, 6
pounds Of mixed hay, 4 pounds of
wheat bran 4 pounds of dried brewers
grain and pounds of cottonseed meal.
The first ration cost l2.0S cents and the
grain rashion 1888 cents. The total
protein was about the same in each
the II pounds of alfalfa given Lac
pounds, about the same as that of the
& pounds of wheat bran and dried
brewers grains. Two cows were fed on
the alfalfa rations for fifteen days while
the Others were fed on the grain.
Then the two fed ON grain were put on
alfalfa. This was kept up for sixty
days and the milk from the cows was
accurately weighed and tested. The
results show that during the whole
period the cows fed on bran and grains
produced only 113 pounds more milk
than those fed on alfalfa hay. The
milk produced from alfalfa cost IS
cents per 100 pounds, while the cost of
n pounds of butter was II cents. With
the grain ration the cost Of 100 pounds
of milk was 70.T cents and pound of
butter l4.3 cents 1t is evident that
when wheat bran and dried brewers
grains can be bought for Sl7 Il ton,
alfalfa hay is worth sl1.18 for actual
feeding. If the alfalfa hay We're ground
up as fine as ordinary bran we believe
it would be worth practically as much
for feeding purposes. Yet why should
the alfalfa be ground up? The cattle
are fully competent to do this grinding.
