Cumming, Georgia. It takes less energy and less brains to step on the gas than to use the brakes. EFFICIENT FEEDING and LIVESTOCK hXU MANAGEMENT Ily Dr. (Justnv Rohstcrit t Emeritus Professor of Animal IliiHhamlry tlnivrrsity of Wiaconain May Trace Minerals Be Overdone? At times tile question i raised whether it is advisable tn allow free neeesß to trace mineral salt, where the live stock ration* are balanced with commercial supplements that are already supplied with trace minerals. Is it possible that the cows or pigs or other farm animals in such cases get too large a dose of these trace to inera I b? i k The answer jfe is: there need ■% , lie no hesi tn nee in iih AjL’C ini: trn I'.vJHk* mineralized Kbowf * W*k "HHL fpH i though the !v ration muy &*&&&%& already have Or. IJoliHtedt been balanced with a trace-mineral-fortified supplement. Furthermore, if there is any question concerning the ade quate supply of these trace minerals you should he sure to feed trace mineral salt to avoid the possible trace mineral de ficiency diseases. Farm animals have demon strated a tolerance for trace minerals greatly in excess of the levels that have been found preventive or curative for de ficiency diseases, (lever. Rupel and Hart of the Wisconsin Ex periment Station found that from .'l to 5 milligrams of cobalt daily corrected a cobalt defi ciency in cows as exhibited by lack of appetite, anemia, and a run clown condition Hut tlu* cows were not harmed, so far ns could he determined, when they received ‘.’t> milligrams for as long as fit? days In ofhe~ ! words, the cows tolerated and SPECIAL!

Another case is that of zinc. From 50 to 100 parts zinc in a million parts of feed protect pigs against the skin disease of parakeratosis. Hut a research worker at Wisconsin found that pigs tolerated more than fiOO parts zinc per million parts of teed 4 Still another evidence of livestock’s trace mineral toler ance is that of iodine fed in excess of the normal amount of 0.007 per cent in tin* stand ard iodized salt. During the thirties there was promoted a so-called super-iodized salt having 0 times ns much iodine ns the standard variety. So far as the* writer knows, there were no unfavorable reports. This is not a defense of the attitude that if a little is good, n lot is better. A lot in some cases may be had. However, what evidence there is in the experience of researchers work in/: with the common trace minerals demonstrates that what may be a double close, or even more, has easily been tol erated by farm animals. Trace mineral salt is always good insurance against these particular mineral deficiency losses. O ') Question: Is too much corn in a dairy ration apt to cause garget? in steer: Too much, of course, is too much. Hut there is no experimental evidence that corn when properly used causes garget or mastitis in cows.
