PRODUCT OF THE DAIRY cow
of Animai-Concrete Floor Is Most
Sanitary for Barn.

prepared by Dairy Division OF Clemson

The Babcock test was first an
nounced to the world in 1890.
The greatest source of infection in
milk comes from the body of the ami
NAL and the air of the stable.
Anything that will make it easier to
clean the stable will aid in the pro-
duction of pure milk.
The concrete floor is by long odds
the most sanitary for dairy barn and
should be used wherever possible.
In building dairy barn, remember
that one is providing place where
human food is to be produced.
Early breeding stunts growth
Heifers should be bred to drop their
calves when about two years old or
older.
AS a rule. 1t is desirable to have
cows go dry at least month before
calving. This has a beneficial effect
on the calf.
Dehorning is a good practice. 1t
makes COWS quiet and docile and saves
them much pain that may be inflicted
when horns are retained.
Dairy cows have little spare flesh to
protect them from the cold. Comfort
able housing in winter Is, therefore,
very important
The liquid manure of cow is much
more valuable than the solid. 1t can
be saved by having watertight floor
Ing and clean straw bedding.
