NITRATE


OE LIVE 4OSG |
Nitrate poisoning of livestock fed
oat hay is not uncommon In Mon
tana and our wv area, and this
is a problem into which research
workers are delving deeper.
So far, it is known that potas-
SUM nitrate content of oats is in
fluenced by a number of factors.
1t is known, for example, that
varieties differ in their nitrate ac-
emulation under the same grow
ing conditions. It is also known
that a close relationship exists be-
tween the amount of available nj
trogen in the soil and the nitrate
content of the oats. A high nitrate
level in the soil may mean a high
content of nitrate in the plant.
However, this may be qualified
since temperature-moisture rela-
tionships that favor normal plant
development may not always re-
suit in a toxic accumulation in
the plant.
Stage of growth at harvest is also
a factor in determining nitrate
level. Nitrate content of oats is
highest at the flower stage and
decreases as the plant natures.
Still another factor is moisture.
Tests show that plants growing
under continued drouth have a
lower nitrate content than when
drouth occurs only when the ker-
nels were developing.
Also, some tests indicate that
oat straw is more dangerous to
livestock than oat hay.
These are a few of the things
researchers have found out about
nitrate in oats. Some scientists
think that it will be possible tc
i. select and breed new varieties Cd
! oats for hay which may be less
toxic to animals.
, Meanwhile, it will pay farmers
and ranchers who plan to feed oat
hay Or hay of any other small
grain to have a nitrate analyst;
! made before feeding it to theil
! stock. The test is a fairly simple
one and only a small charge i!
made for determining nitrate
levels in feeds by the Department
of Chemistry at Montana State
College. If you suspect any of fou,
] feeds of having a high nitrate
level, feel free to call at our offict

I matter with you. Also, if you have

exception to the federation's
stand on such issues as dis

Father Wizards comments
were contained in an editor
ial appearing in the February
issue of Catholic Rural Life,
monthly publication of the
Catholic conference. The
Jesuit priest, who is also ed
itor of the NCRLC monthly,
said he takes full personal
responsibility for the editor

alysiS on policy statements
