CULLING

Culling the low producers is an important aspect of sound herd management that requires a great amount of skill. It is not always easy to choose the cows to be cull- ed." Cornell University has prepar- ed the following iii-point guide for culling.

The test can be given to every cow in the herd. Try it out. if sev- eral cows' scores are low. perhaps they should go first. Check the fol- lowing statements "yes" or "no" for the cows under consideration. if all questions are checked "yes" it indicates culling. "Yea" answ- ers to the first 9 questions are strong indications that the cow should be culled.

1. If she is a first calf he-lief. did she produce 30 per cent below the herd average 2. In the first four months of her lactation has she produced less than 130 pounds of butter fat? fl. is her 305-day M.E. lactation record below the average of herd mates fresh.-ning during the same year and sea- son? 4. Will she be dry 6 months or more? 5. Does site have a re- cord of mastitis? ii. is she positive to. Bang's disease test? 7. Does she have a record of breeding troubles? Will it pay you to re- place this cow with a higher pro- ducer? ii. Will it pay you to remove this cow without replacing her?

10. Is there I replacement cow available? ii. is she an old cow? 12. Did she have complications after last calving? 13. Does she. have a record of milk fever or Ketosls I4. is space needed for fresh heifers? 15. is the price of beef average to good? I6. is she below the average type of your herd? i7. is she a slow miikcr? fl. is she a spring freshencr?

PIG MORTALITY

With the approach of cold weath- er a swine breeder in the Prov- ince moved hla wesner pigs into quartara which were very damp and clammy. Shortly after trans-, fer to these new quarters sevcral pigs died. Feed poisoning was gtrongly guapected by the owner.

A dead pig was submitted to the Veterinary Laboratory for an- glyjh and post-mortem. Findings revealed that death was caused by pneumonia and too much fib- re in the feed- This and many sim- ilar can prove the value and importance of dry well-bedded quarters for pigs during the fall. winter and early spring periods says Dr.-George C. Fisher. Dir- ector of Veterinary Services.

Ventilation is of very great im- portance in a hog barn. Plans for construction of a cheap but ef- fective ventilator are available. If cold. clammy. damp air can- not be removed by ventilation alone. install a safe and efficient stove to provide extra heat for evnporatinlf and lifting out the extra moisture from the barn.

If electricity is available use heat bulbs in creeps where suck-

we cannot resolve. And because he is a living creature. he eases our minds and hearts even more than static enloyments.

The violence. the confusion. the clashing motives abroad in the

poultry house temperature should not be less than 35 F. Forty-five dot.-irces is about right.

in addition to temperature con- troi. the prevention of moisture condensation is very important. In winter. condensation on the walls and ceiling present a problem. In order to prevent condensation. much of the moisture given off by the birds must be removed by ven- tilating the house.

Wet floors and wet litter present another problem in poultry houses. Part of this problem is sometimes a result of moisture penetrating through the floor from poorly drain ed soil under the pen. Placing I layer of coarse gravel on the ground before laying the floor provides underdrainagc. A floor made of a good grade of concrete will also aid in preventing moistu e from seeping through the floor.

Tile amount of air movement needed for ventilation varies from season to season. In the summer, temperature control is important and a large volume of air is needed to carry away the heat resulting from the hours of sunshine. The amount of heat entering the house from the sun in summer my be re duced by placing the window in a

air to rise. Since they all depend to some extent on wind. vintilatioa rates may be very low during calm periods. This may result in high humidity in the house with a considerable amount of condensat- ion and high odor. The forced-air system requires the use of a fan and motor for air movement. The exhaust fan ven- tilation system is most commonly used. When this system is used, air is blown out of the house by the fan and is replaced by air flow into the house through properly placed inlets. This system has sev- eral advantsgcs over the gravity system. There is no dependence on wind. The fan may be thermostatically controlled and will then operate continuously when the temperat- ure of the house of higher than that set on the thermostat and will not operate when the temper- ature ls below that set on the ther- mostat. When a forced-air ventilation system has been properly install- ed and is operating satisfactorily. very little manual control is re- quired to maintain the desired temperature.
