2021-2022 is the sixth year of operation for the Extensive Grazing Research Unit. The team is made up of seven students from across Canada. Our unit strives to achieve maximum grazing time while remaining extensive and low maintenance in our management while continuing to build a string maternal cow herd that contains a large amount of background performance and breed composition data.

Goals for the Year Short Term Goals • Work as a team to successfully complete tasks associated with the demo by meeting deadlines set within the measurement collection schedule • Increase meeting efficiency by setting a limit of tabled items at 2

Long Term Goals • Stay on top of communication between the team and work successfully together by submitting weekly committee reports • Bring awareness to the college’s Student Managed Farm and the research activity by increasing social media interactions by 15%

Nutrition Our cows have been extensively grazing on LC 15&16, where they were let out on December 20th and will remain here until they are moved for calving on April 25th. After weaning they were put on oat stubble on LC 2 where because of the high nitrates the oats couldn’t be swath grazed. To be able to use this feed still we tub ground these oat swath bales with barley green feed and hay and shredded it out on pasture for the cows as this was the best way to ensure they weren’t sorting through and consuming too much of the high nitrate oats.

They received this until January 16th when they started their bales grazing.

Our replacement heifers have been on the demo since February 7th. After weaning, all 16 were put on our controlled ration of the hay, Corn silage, Barley straw, barley grain and supplement. Once the trial began, we kept 5 heifers on the controlled ration and put 5 on a ration of Alfalfa pellets, green peas, straw, and supplement. We decided to go with peas as our grain as they were on farm already and gave us the opportunity to work the other SMF units.

Their bale ration consisted of 7 hay bales and 3 barley green feed which they were fed once weekly giving them 30.7 pounds per head per day. We chose this ratio of bales because with what feed we had available on farm for grazing it best suited the nutritional needs of our herd. Our cows were consuming more than their anticipated amount each week, so we were supplementing them when additional bales later in the week as needed. Because of feed shortages this year, we tried to reduce wastage as much as possible by putting bale rings

out and making the cows clean up all their feed before receiving more. The cost of this bale grazing was $105 per hay bale, $85 per greenfeed bale.

Grazing Plan LCP 22: This pasture will be split into 6 paddocks with an alleyway in between. Each paddock will be grazed for approximately 7 days. They will be on LCP 22 for 40 days, starting April 25th going until June 3rd.

LCP 23: This pasture will be split into 7 paddocks with an alleyway in between that will allow them access to water at the corrals. Each paddock will also be grazed approximately 7 days each. They will be on LCP 23 for 50 days, starting June 4th going until July 23rd.

LCP 24: This pasture will be split into 3 paddocks due to the big water source on the pasture. Each paddock will be grazed for approximately 8 days each. They will be on LCP 24 for 27 days, starting July 24th going until August 19th. This gives us 35 days left of the grazing period which means we will move them back onto the other pastures and continue to monitor the grass for the rest of the grazing days.

Manure Records

Treatments During this semester we treated two cows that were showing lameness in their hind legs. We treated them with Biomycin for treatment of lameness or wound infection, and Metacam as an anti-inflammatory. We also treated one of our replacement heifers post weaning with Resflor as her symptoms were labored breathing and nasal discharge. During the month of March, we welcomed an early calf on March 14th. He was processed and administered Vitamin A, D, E as well as Selenium to prevent deficiencies. On February 18th we administered Scourguard 4KC to our bred heifers as a pre calving booster. Following our Research Herd SOPs we then administered our pre-calving vaccinations to our mature cows and bred heifers. These vaccinations included: Scourguard 4KC, Ultra7/Somubac, and Ivomec. We give Scourgaurd 4KC to prevent scours in calves, Ultra7/Somubac to help prevent several types of clostridial disease, and Ivomec to prevent parasites.

Reproduction Our 2022 breeding group will include two breeding groups, two Hereford sired bulls and one Angus sired bull. We decided to have two Hereford bulls servicing fifty mature cows, and one Angus bull servicing thirteen mature cows and sixteen replacement heifers. With our bull to cow ratio is 1:30. As a team we decided to use the two Hereford sired bulls to increase our Hereford genetics and provide new Hereford genetics to our herd. Our breeding season will begin on July 23rd, and the bulls will be pulled on September 25th. Our predicted calving season will begin on May 1st of 2023.

Bull Purchase Two-year-old Hereford bull purchased from Holloway Farms Ltd.

Finance Budget Cost of Production

Research Trials & Demos RFI Trials Residual feed intake is a genetic trait that is predicted to be heritable. During the trial each heifer’s daily feed intake is measured and average daily gain is determined with regular weighing to predict their feed efficiency. By collecting this data on our replacement heifers, we are able to monitor the heritability throughout our herd. We are encouraging next years team to complete a RFI trial again to continue to build the herd’s data bank. In the future it we could potentially consider the dam’s RFI values when selecting replacements to help build a more efficient herd.

Feed Demo Question: Which of the two rations is most cost efficient and effective when developing replacement heifers?

Process: -

10 heifers split into two groups o Control group ▪ Consuming traditional ration with silage and other shredded forages o Variable group ▪ Consuming ration containing Alfalfa pellets which substituted traditional forage components

Transition Cow Milk fever incidences were high in our fresh cows in the fall. Collaborating with NutriSource it was suggested we needed a diet change.

Dietary Cation-Anion Difference (DCAD) Ration Animate is a product that may be added to a close-up ration to give a negative DCAD. A negative DCAD causes diet calcium to be excreted in the urine, which will lead to better utilization of bone calcium after calving. On a negative DCAD ration urine pH will decrease. Due to inconsistent straw sources, it was hard to maintain a negative DCAD, so it was decided to explore other options.

Calcium Binding Ration X-Zelit has been used for many years in Europe and is a new feed technology introduced to Canada over the last 5 years. X-Zelit is a product that may be added to a close-up ration to bind with calcium making it unabsorbable. The calcium will be excreted in the manure, forcing the cow to utilize calcium from the bones before calving, therefore improved utilization of bone calcium after calving. The dairy unit is currently top dressing the close-up ration with X-Zelit and collecting data to determine if milk fever incidences have changed.

For more information on how these different rations can benefit your herd, please talk to your nutritionist.

Last Year’s Recommendations • •

Brand horses in first few weeks of school ✓ Update: Branded December 3rd to mitigate risk of branding a cull animal Start looking for summer pasture in the first semester ✓ Update: Began advertising for pasture November 15th

Range and Forage We plan on having 9 geldings on pasture for roughly 110 days at $2/day, costing $1,980.

The broodmares will be at the stallion’s location for an expected 60 days, at an average of $6/day, costing $2,520.

The broodmares will return to Lakeland College and be put on pasture for approximately 90 days at an average of $3/day, costing $1,890.

Our total budgeted grazing costs are $6,390.

Both mares and geldings are expected to be in dry lot and back on feed September 1.

The Equine SMF Team is also still looking for pasture to rent for the summer.
