Love the smell of a fresh cut Christmas Tree in your house? Here are some tips to consider when buying and caring for your live Christmas Tree:
Be sure to locate a recycling program or check with your city for special recycling efforts when it’s time to discard your Christmas Tree.
Why do chickens molt and when? Molting is the process wherein hens lose feathers and grow new ones. It occurs naturally after 10 to 14 months of production, or it can be caused accidentally by temperature extremes, running out of feed or water, a decrease in light, or disease. Hens will not lay eggs during a molt. Molting gives birds a chance to rest. After seven to eight weeks, they will return to production for a second cycle, though they will not be as productive the second time around. However, they will often lay larger eggs than during their first cycle.
High-fat cattle supplements help provide additional fat, an ingredient which influences nutrition and reproduction.
Fat influences cow body condition and is a precursor for cholesterol (a precursor for estrogen). Estrogen plays a vital role in a cow’s ability to come in heat and get bred.
Historically, it’s been difficult to achieve high-fat levels in block form. When a product has too much fat—whether pellet, block or cube—the physical form is no longer hard. For that reason, many high-fat cattle supplements are in liquid or meal form.
The new Accuration® Hi-Fat Block offers increased fat content in a hard block form. A proprietary high-energy nugget delivers the additional fat. In fact, you can see the nuggets in a block or tub when it’s cut in half.
Cattle fed high-fat cattle supplements may show outward signs, such as a shinier hair coat, in as little as three weeks.
Does your nutrition program stack up? Find out with a Proof Pays feeding trial. Or call Russell or Stan, they’ll set you up.
