Jasper County Democrat, Volume 20, Number 17, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 May 1917 — SALT FOR CATTLE. [ARTICLE]

SALT FOR CATTLE.

(National Crop Improvement Service.] professor Henry says that a cow requires three-quarters of an ounce per day per 1000 lbs. of weight and six-tenths of an ounce per day per 20 lbs. milk. Therefore, a cow which weighs 1200 lbs. and gives 30 lbs. milk should have 1.8 ounce salt. It must be remembered, however, that salt is generally included in high-grade dairy feeds: It is well to give cows access to extra salt. They will take what their roughage demaiids.
