Grain Feeding Dairy Cows
f By watching the dairy cow’s
production performance and
t other factors, many Georgia
( dairymen are learning to feed
I their cows economically. They
• allow the cows to consume large
s amounts of high - quality for
. age and then feed additional
grain depending upon (1) the
, quality and quantity of for
' ages — pasture, hay, or silage
— that are fed. (2) the milk
’ yield and its butterfat percent
. for the individual cow, (3) the
weight, condition and appetite
of the animal, and (4) the local
> milk marketing conditions.
Feeding all milking animals
■ in the herd the same amount of
• grain usually tends to overfeed
! the poor producers and under
feed the high producers. An ef
ficient way to feed is to give
each milking cow grain accord
ing to her milk production and
butterfat tests. Under most
Georgia conditions, a 12 to 16
percent ration fed at the rate
of 1 pound of grain to 2-1/2 to
4 pounds of milk should be am
ple.
During periods when surplus
milk is being produced, it may
be practical for dairymen to re
duce the amounts of grain fed,
particularly during the latter
stage of the cow’s lactation.
Grain feeding recommendations
and tables on amounts of feed
to use are included in Georgia
Agricultural Extension Bullet
in 604, “Georgia Dairy Herd
Management Practices,” which
can be obtained at my office.
Pecan Butter
New Product Os
Georgia Research
Georgia homemakers, long ac
customed to using pecan halves
and pieces to give the distinc
tive flavor of pecans to all
kinds of foods from salads to
cakes, can now look forward to
imparting the pecan flavor to
many other foods with pecan
butter, a new pecan product
developed at the Georgia Ex
periment Station of the Uni
versity of Georgia College of
Agriculture.
Dr J. G. Woodroof, head of
the Food Processing Depart
ment at the Georgia Experi
ment Station, is enthusiastic
about the possibilities of pecan
butter. As an excellent flavor
ing ingredient for many types
of foods, he says pecan butter
shows great promise as a new
end product of the Georgia pe
j can crop which has averaged
well above 35 million pounds
j for the past 10 years and this
। year is expected to total 44 mil-
I lion pounds.
While pecan butter is not yet
I produced commercially, several
business firms are definitely in
j terested and Dr. Woodroof be-
I lieves commercial production
of pecan butter will surely
come in time. In fact, Dr.
Woodroof says that with a lit
। tie imagination he can see pe
can butter one day attaining
' an economic importance to pe
j can growers approaching that
which peanut butter now has
for peanut producers.
Although too astringent to
use as a spread for bread, pe
can butter is excellent as a
flavoring and source of unsat
urated fat in milk shakes, cream
frostings, chiffon pies, bread,
hot cakes, cookies and confec
tions, says Dr. Woodroof. Pe
can butter has more aroma and
flavor than coarsely ground pe
cans and has distinctly differ
ent uses in milk products, bak
ery items and confections, he
explains.
Formulas for making pecan
butter and 10 pecan butter pro
ducts are given in a new circu
lar of the Georgia Agricultural
Experiment Stations written by
Dr. Woodroof and Mr. E. K.
Heaton, associate food techno
logist at Experiment.
