EFftul Ut OATS ON
Int FLAVOR OF MILK

1t has been asserted by some
dairymen that the feeding OF crush
ed OalS 70 COWS Will improve the
flavor OF milk. 10 ascertain the
correctness OF this theory a series
OF experiments was made by the
Bureau of Animal Industry OF the
Unlteu oJares Department Of Agrl-
culture al the experimental dairy
farm at Beltsville, Md. SIX COWS
were used in the experiment; three
were leu a grain ration OF corn
meal, bran and cOttonseed meal; the
other tnee were fed a grain mixture
of i've parts crushed oats and one
part co,,onseed meal. A number
of samples of milk from the COWS
fed these ratiOns were submitted to
various persons in the dairy divis-
ion ana lney were asked to indicate
their preference. In all 50 opinions
were passed on various samples. OF
these, 10 showed a preference for
the min from COWS led Oh crushed
oats, z5 preferred that from the
bran anu corn ration, while nine ex-
pressed no choice. The results show
that in tuese rati0ns, not only was
there no marked difference in favor
of the crushed oats as feed to i'm
prove flavor, but, if anything, the
ration containing bran and corn
was more successful in producing a
fine favored milk.
