Nitrate Poisoning
Properly Handled, Oat Hay Is
One Of Best Dryland Forages
H., I0rY ARTl PHO4DS
By HOWARD RHOADS

much to decrease the chances for ac-
emulation of toxic amounts OF nitrates
in oat hay. Even with good practices it
is a good idea to get the nitrate safety
check. The following practices are be-
ieved to be sound when growing oats
for hay:
1. Do not over fertilize with nitrogen.
Enough nitrogen for normal healthy
plant development is very desirable.
Excessive nitrogen enhances the chance
for nitrate accumulation.
2. Stack hay from 1uxuriant areas sep
arate from hay from the normal field
area. Luxuriant hays are most likely to
have high nitrate concentrations.
8. Do not NOW or pasture immature
hay from stubble regrowth if weather
is tending towards GOODNESS and cloudi-
ness in the fall.
4. Cut oats for hay when in the soft
dough stage This is good idea from
the standpoints of yield, total digestible
nutrients, quality and nitrate safeness.
At the soft dough stage nitrates are less
likely to be accommodating than atearlier
stages. At this stage the plants are
storing m thy carbohydrate COM
pounds.
5. Make hay while the sun shines and
only if it has done so for several days
prior to harvest.
A demolitions expert is wise man.
He knows the danger of his. materials.
He respects the danger and handles his
materials carefully but he isn't afraid
of explosives. A person afraid of oat hay
poisoning might do well to take les
son from such an expert. Properly han
died, oat hay is as good today as it
ever was. Because of this, oats will re-
main the popular hay crop for Mon
tana's dryland regions and nitrate poi
soning danger will be respected but not
feared to the extent that oats no longer
will be used as hay crop.

Reducing Cost
We have suggested the important
items of cost connected with shrinkage
are those of tissue loss and what we
have called interruption cost How
may these costs be minimized? These
items are closely related and will be
discussed together. Obviously we do
not have the answers to all of these
questions but wish to point up several
observations All of these have not
been proven but they offer possible
solutions in some instances. AT the out
set, the following items are important
in minimizing these costs:
Extreme care in handling.
Dispatch in hauling, whether by
truck or rail
Not too long periods between feed
and rest stops when stock are trans
ported long distances.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1955-09-15

It's an established fact that calf has
little chance of survival if it is de-
prived of colostrum The reason is that
without colostrum it will not receive
the necessary antibodies with which to
fight common infections disease, and
it becomes very susceptible to calf
scOurs.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1955-09-15
Feeding After WEAVING


Iivering caves is being tried in one
area. 1t is designed to help the calves
make the adjustment from range 20
feedIot. In contrast to the old method
in which calves were cut off the cows,
weaned and shipped all in one opera
ton, under the new setup the calves
are brought from the mountains to
meadow pasture near the ranch head
quarters for two weeks, after which
they are weaned, vaccinated and start
ed on light grain ration for an addi-
tional two weeks prior to shipment.
With this background the calves make
the trip with much less shrink, but
the most important advantage to the
buyer is the relative speed with which
they make the adjustment to their new
conditions. Since there is a saving to
the feeder in the cost of getting these
calves on feed and an expense to the
producer in handling them in this man
ner, of course this is taken into con-
sideration in arriving at the price,
which might be So or So per cwt high
er. 1t would seem logical that perhaps
part of this adjustment could be made
more efficiently in the range area
where the calves were at home than
when they were forced to make it all
at once in strange surrounding.
Feeding Before WEAVING
A certain successful rancher in one
area of the state always commands.
a premium for his yearling steers and
has ready sale for them because of
his practice OF feeding his calves some
from hunks the winter before. They
have already learned to eat concen-
trates so it IS easier for the feed-lot
operator to get them on feed. The
rancher has borne part of the Interrupt
ton cost.
Shrinkage costs itself is a measure
of tissue loss, which is small when
cattle have moved short distances and
greater as time enroute is increased.
Belly shrink may be important to an
individual if he does not know about
how much to expect and as a result of
this ignorance let's the buyer out-bar-
gain him.
The most important cost associated
with marketing feeder livestock is that
which we have called interruption cost.
It is a cost, part of which is inadvert-
able, and relates to movement from
range to feedlot or pasture. It is rela-
lively large, particularly with extreme
Y young or delicate animals but may
De minimized by careful handling.

RECENT ARTICLES in Montana Far
mer-Stockman have p o n e out the
potential threat, the symptoms, precau-
lions and cure of so-called oat hay poi
soning. These articles may have left
the impression that oat hay, one of the
most popular dryland hay crops in Mon
tana, is not safe to feed to livestock.
1t is true that high nitrate in feeds
can cause livestock losses. If there is
any doubt concerning a feed, including
oat hay, it should be tested for nitrate
content. Such an analysis can be made
by the Chemistry Department at Mon
tana State College, Bozeman. No doubt
record tonnages of oat hay will be fed
to livestock this year and anyone who
questions the safety of feeding such hay
should have it tested for nitrate con-
tent.
Not Limited to Oats
1t is regretable that in usage the
term nitrate poisoning has become SYN
onymous with oat hay poisoning. When
used in this manner it tends to convey
the idea that nitrate poisoning can be
caused only by oat hay. In truth, nitrate
poisoning can result after an animal
eats enough of any feed containing dan
gerous amounts of nitrates.
Fresh corn 0eaves, stalks has been
reported to cause nitrate poisoning upon
occasion. Winter wheat. pasturages have
been known to cause nitrate poisoning.
1t is quite possible that any of the
cereals one might use for hay would be
capable of causing nitrate poisoning if
conditions were right.
Nitrate poisoning scan" be caused by
oat hay, but it also "can" be caused by
other things as well Cattle do not al
ways die after eating materials con-
tanning dangerous amounts of nitrates
but the risk of death is sufficient to
make precautionary measures worth
while.
Bacteria Convert Nitrates to Nitrites
A high nitrate content In a feed does
not necessarily mean it will be 1ethaI
feed because nitrate poisoning is a
misnomer. Within an animals stomach
there may be Cor may not be- bacteria
which convert nitrates to nitrites. Nj
trites are the COW KILN G chemical
cookies and any amount of the nitrate
form of nitrogen could be eaten if it
were not for the danger of conversion
to nitrites. Two things are necessary
then, before the poisoning can occur.
I. Feed must have dangerous analy-
sis with respect to nitrates.
q Nitrate converting bacteria must
be present in the animals stomach to
convert the nitrates to nitrites.
There is no feasible way of determin-
ing whether or not the bacteria are
present. Be safe Assume that they are
Feed safe hay as indicated by analysis
and good judgment.
High Nitrate Conditions
1t is believed that only a minute
amount of Montana's oat hay is unsafe
to feed due to excessive nitrates. In
Montana, most of the oat hay is pro-
duced under conditions not usually con-
ducive to nitrate accumulations. High
nitrate accumulation in oat hay is ass0-
ciated with:
1. High soil fertility with excessive nj
.rogen.
2. Luxuriant growth and rank growth.

which of these items are costs? The
latter two. 1t is essential that stockmen
do everything feasible to minimize
them.
The weighing conditions agreed upon
can be as important as price in de-
termining net returns.
Overnight VS.. Pencil Shrink
For example, the buyer may offer
the producer the choice of an over
night or a 4 per cent pencil shrink with
weights taken early in the morning.
Which is the better deal for the pro-
Queer? In our study some of these ques-
lions we're answered. One phase of the
work showed that at certain periods of
the day animals are heavier than at
other periods Generally the period of
heaviest weight is in the evening. An
average of > per cent shrink can be
expected between pm. and 5 am.
even though the animals have access
to feed and water during this period.

methods for arriving at pay weights:

The Carmen Jones" Gin
emascope production of the
play, featuring an all Negro
cast of stars, has provoked
several questions in the
minds of many who saw it.
One question is: Is it an
Uncle Tom type of movie +?
Some of the script is in
dialect which is, of course,
Objectionable to Negro crit
les. Some who saw it are
saying that the producers
may have bowed to the un-
written law of Hollywood to
inject dialect" to appease
white audiences. They con.
tend that they would be of
Tended by an all-Negro cast
playing straight drama roles.
Another criticism is that
the play does not include
any white players. The Pitts
burgh Courier front PACED
its review with the caption.
"Will Dialect Kill the Car
men Jones Movie ?"
Despite the criticisms. it
is a general prediction that
the play is headed for sue
cess financially. 1t is esti-
mated that it will make from
one to five million dollars.
Another good point is that
if the play goes over big,
Hollywood will quite readi-
~ make others. Negro thes..
plans have a bright future.
