FRESH CN" NUTRITION
The nutrition of the fresh cOW' should begin ""ith the proper care of the dry cOW'.
Within the past few years, ""e have learned that the pregnant cOW"s energy requirements
is less than the allOl.'ancea suggested by Morrison and those published by National
Research Council before 1971.
The dry period. although considered necessary for t.he dairy COl.', probably is
not needed in most. cases as a t.ime to replenish nutrient reserves . It 1s more
efficient t.o restore energy reserves during lactation rather t.han during the dry
period. In other ""ords , the fattening process is actually more efficient ""hile the
COl.' is milking than ""hen she is dry . Energy reserves lost during early lactation
should be restored in late lactation. A COl.' that is dried off in good condition has
a relatively modest energy requirement that can be met by good quality forage only.
The actual feed required by a 1,300 pound mature. dry COl.' could be met by about
NO pounds of grain and forty-five pounds of corn silage.
For several years dairy nutritionists have recOlmlended increasing the grain
2 to 3 ""eeks before calving. In some cases this yas carried to the extreme, and
it has come under criticism in recent years. It is possible that the COl."S body

Object Description
| Title | Dairy Herd Improvement Notes, December, 1974 |
| Series Designation | Dairy Herd Improvement Association Monthly Report |
| Description | The monthly report of the Dairy Herd Improvement Association (DHIA) was initiated by E.E. Anderson, Extension Dairyman in the 1940s. From the 1960s forward a cooperative report had been prepared jointly by staff members of the NMSU Dairy Department, Agricultural Engineering, Agronomy, Veterinary and sent primarily to dairy herds on test (OS, DHIA, DHIR), County Extension Agents, and Instructors of Vocational Agriculture. The publication of the DHIA report was overseen by Philip Leyendecker, a director of the NMSU Agricultural Extension Service in cooperation with U.S. Department of Agriculture. The title of the report had changed over time; it had a couple of variations, New Mexico Dairy Herd Improvement and Dairy Improvement Notes. This digital collection includes historical issues published between 1961 and 1980. |
