DAIRY
sUccULENT FEED FOR COWS
Dried Apple Pomace Does Not Cause
Decrease in Milk Flow Nor Yield
of Butterfat.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Dried or ''evapOrated" apple pomace
as succulent feed for the dairy cow
Is the subject of a preliminary report
from the bureau of chemistry and an.
imal industry of the United States De-
-partment of Agriculture based on an
experiment to determine the feeding
value of dried-apple pomace, especial
~ its suitability as food for cows in
lactation. Preliminary results are re-
ported because of a large number OF
inquiries on the subject.
The text of the report follows:
1t appears there is a belief among
dairymen that the dried product has
tendency TO cut down the milk flow,
or even cause cows to go dry, although
apple pomace fresh from the cider
press Is generally recognized as being
good succulent feed for milk cows.
To test the soundness of this belief a
feeding trial has been carried out by
the department. Only one COW was
used In this test, and the total guam
tity of dried pomace fed was less than
400 pounds; therefore it must be borne
In mind that the results obtained
while indicative, cannot be accepted
as conclusive.
In this feeding trial the dried-apple
pomace was fed wet and Its feeding
value compared with that of corn 81.

pared by adding to the dry material

eral hours before feeding. thus pro.
ducing feed similar In water con
tent to that Of corn silage.
For period of 80 days the COW re-
ceived a balance ration consisting OF
grain, hay. and corn silage. The 81
lage was then replaced by the apple
pomace for a similar length of time
following a ten-day transition period
for the change In diet, and after like
transition period at the end of 80 days
the original ration containing silage
was resumed and continued for third
S0-day period. ......
The quantity fed-36 pounds of wet
pomace per day-was such that the
total dry matter in the pomace
squalled the weight of dry matter In
the silage replaced. The quantities of
grain and hay fed remained practical.

While the data obtained are not
sufficient to warrant the drawing of
final and definite conclusions. the indi.
