The Family Cow
Where a source of succulence
is a problem to feed with dry
hay, root crops such as turnips,
potatoes, beets and rutabagos
can well furnish the necessary
succulence. When the number
of livestock is sufficient to con
sume 50 tons or more of silage
during the winter then grass
silage may be the cheapest form
of succulence besides provid
ing a major part of the animal
nutrition. With the family
cow silage making becomes
difficult and root crops, fed in
conjunction with hay, can fur
nish the needed succulence.
On account of their high wat
er content, excessive feeding of
roots may overload the diges
tive tract and cause indigestion.
Ordinarily the limit to feed per
cow is 3 to 5 pounds per 100
pounds live weight and not ov
er half that amount when roots
are to be fed as a source of suc
culence and as an appetizer and
not as an important source of
nutrients.
Root crops are primarily a
source of carbohydrates and
are lacking in protein, fat, cal
cium and phosporus. With the
exception of carrots they are
also lacking in vitamin A.
