ANIMAL HUsBANDRY DEFINED AND SOME
lei PROBLEMS OF MILK PRODUCTION"

Animal Husbandry is the total Of all the principles Of the
breeding feeding and management of farm animals. The most
profitable farms in many agricultural areas are livestock
farms on which the stock is well managed. Where farm land
is rich and highly productive, raising livestock leads to more.
profit. On poor land, livestock can return some income from
pastures and lands otherwise not suited for farming.
Everyone benefits from animal husbandry. The farmer
benefits because his income is increased and his labor is more
evenly distributed. The consuming public benefits from an in
creased supply of meat, milk, and eggs. The land benefits be-
cause successful animal husbandry is the basis for sound and
continuous soil conservation. i
In milk production, one Of the most important facts to-
keep in mind is that high producing cows are almost always
much more economical producers of milk than are low pro-
ducers. That is, one ten quart a day COW eats much more than
one FIVE quart a day COW, but much less than two five quart
cows Also it is cheaper and easier to care for one COW 90
quart a day or no9 than for two.
Efficient ration and intelligent care are just as necessary
as cows bred for high yields. Without proper care and feeding,
even the best COWS become poor and improbable producers.
The way to feed is to reward" each COW Individually accord
ing to her actual yield Of milk. A high producing COW needs
more protein and energy than a low producer, and the differ
ence must be made up with d libral amount Of concentrate.
. Good pasture alone will provide COWS with sufficient snu-
trients for body maintenance and the production Of about 5 to
10 quarts Of milk, depending on its richness. Cows Of high
productive capacity that are fed no grain on pasture may
continue to yield more milk than those amounts but to do 50
they must draw on their own bodies and soon become thin and
worn down
Now i sideight Of interest. President Eisenhower de-
ciared the week Of July 10th to 25th, National Farm Safety
Week. Over the years, farming has been one Of the most haz-
ardous occupations in the nation. IA 1857, there were 1900
accidental deaths among farm pople plus many more persons
injured Or manned for life So lets take steps to eliminate
