Indiana DHIA Cows Top National Average LAFAYETTE — Indiana cows enrolled in the Dairy Herd Improvement Association outproduced their national counter - parts during the testing period which ended last April 30. Cows in Hoosier herds averaged 12,161 pounds of milk and 472 pounds of butterfat during the 12-month period, reports Sam Gregory, Purdue university extension dairyman in charge of the DHIA project. The national average stood at 11,900 pounds of milk and 458 pounds of butterfat. Nine hundred forty-nine Indiana herds were on test, five fewer than the previous year. Cows in these herds totaled 39,624 — 1,458 more than in the year before. Average production of Indiana herds was down slightly in both milk and butterfat from the previous year. A high percent age of the new herds has not yet reflected the effects of using records to cull and feed cows, Gregory explains. Value of milk credited per cow averaged $672, up $22 from the previous 12-month period, Gregory says. Feed costs per cow include sl2l for the grain ration and $127 for forages (hay, silage and pasture.) Income above feed cost per cow at $424 is $25 higher than the preceding year’s figure. Feed costs per hundredweight of milk averaged $2.04, four cents lower than the previous year’s costs. Feed costs amounted to 37 per cent of the value per hundredweight of milk testing 3.9 per cent butterfat. Milk and butterfat average production for Indiana DHIA herds by breed during the 12month period: Ayrshire —7 herds, 10,505 pounds of milk and 412 pounds of butterfat; Holstein — 726 herds, 12,890 pounds of milk and 478 pounds of butterfat; Jersey — 52 herds, 7,789 pounds of milk and 404 pounds of butterfat; Brown Swiss — 30 herds, 11,252 pounds of milk and 456 pounds of butterfat. Guernsey — 134 herds, 9,818 pounds of milk and 467 pounds of butterfat.
