“Milk Pregnancy Testing Facts”
Facts of the test The test measures pregnancy-associated glycoprotein (PAGs) to determine the
status of the cow. The PAGs are released by the placenta during pregnancy; PAGs are specific to pregnancy unlike some other indicators.
There is a rapid increase in early PAG levels. PAG levels decline slightly until somewhere around day 60 before returning to high levels before calving.
These proteins do take time to disappear from the milk so a waiting period of 60 days after calving is recommended to allow for proteins to disappear.
PAGS are detectable at 28 days post breeding until dry off in the milk sample. This test will determine if PAGs are present but cannot determine where the
cow is in its gestation period. The test has a high level of accuracy (98%) on its results. The test is able to use the same preserved milk sample as it uses for
component testing.
Tips for a successful milk pregnancy program Using it as a confirmation type test Understanding results will be reported back as pregnant, open or recheck. Recheck results should be verified by the herd veterinarian or by retesting at a
later date. Herd breeding records should be accurate and up-to-date. Minimize any sampler or meter carryover
Cost of milk pregnancy is $4.25 per sample and results can be emailed or mailed to the dairy.

Enrollment into the Conserva on Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) con nues at the Farm Service Agency (FSA). CREP is a special type of CRP program that is tailored to environmentally sensi ve acreages.
Eligible land will be automa cally accepted into the program at the highest FSA determined payment rate for the offered land, provided acreage caps have not been met, the par cipant and acreage are determined eligible and the requested prac ce is needed and prac cal for the offered acreage. Eligible prac ces include grass and tree buffer strips, grass waterways and wetland restora ons. Contracts are 15 years in dura on, with limited excep ons. The CREP program does not require that the acreage be open to the public.
Eligible land must have an acceptable cropping history between 2008 and 2013 and must have been owned or operated for at least 12 months at the me of applica on. Crops planted for harvest in 2018 can be con nued through harvest with the CREP contract star ng on the first of the month following the harvest of the crop. CREP contracts can be ini ated no sooner than 6 months before the contract start date.
Financial assistance for buffer strips and grass waterways include annual payments between $105 and $314 per acre in Calumet County and between $108 and $322 per acre in Manitowoc County for the life of the contract. The payment rate is determined by the established payment rate per acre for the three predominant soil types of the offered acreage. Cost‐share assistance to establish the prac ce is available on up to 50% of the eligible costs to establish the new plan ng along with a prac ce incen ve payment of 40% of the eligible costs and a State of Wisconsin incen ve payment of 20% of the eligible

and the number and kind of livestock that died, supplemented by records to document the loss, purchase records, veterinarian records, produc on records and other similar documents.
Honeybee Losses‐ Honeybee producers who lost bees due to the extreme cold over the past couple of weeks may be eligible for assistance from the Emergency Livestock Assistance Program (ELAP).
Eligible losses must be able to be documented. Producers who suffered a honeybee loss due to the extreme cold must file a no ce of loss with their Farm Service Agency office within 30 calendar days of when the loss became apparent.
Producers who lost animals or honeybees due to the excessively cold weather should immediately contact their FSA office. Producers in Calumet County should contact the Chilton FSA office at 920‐849‐3570, ext. 2 and producers in Manitowoc County they should contact the Manitowoc FSA office at 920‐683‐5119, ext. 2 with any ques ons or program eligibility requirements.
Livestock Deaths‐ Producers who lost qualifying livestock due to the con nuing and excessively cold weather may be eligible for assistance from the Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP).
LIP compensates livestock owners and contract growers for livestock death losses in excess of normal mortality due to an eligible adverse weather event, including losses due to floods, blizzards, disease, wildfires, extreme heat and extreme cold.
LIP program rules require that a no ce of loss be filed with FSA within 30 days of when the loss of livestock is apparent. Livestock that die within 60 days of the date of the qualifying loss will be considered eligible for loss benefits.
The LIP na onal payment rate for eligible livestock owners is based on 75 percent of the average fair market value of the livestock as determined by FSA.
Producers must provide suppor ng evidence, including documenta on of animal numbers prior to the disaster

2018 PESTICIDE APPLICATOR TRAINING DATE: Tuesday, February 27, 2018 TIME: 9:30 AM ‐ 2:30 PM (This includes me for the exam) — Registra on at 9:15 AM LOCATION: Manitowoc County Office Complex, Room 300, 4319 Expo Drive, Manitowoc, WI 54221‐0935 COST: $30.00 (manual and cer fica on) Lunch will be on your own.

Straw is the best choice of bedding to provide thermal insula on for the young calf. Straw tends to hold moisture, so it is important to add fresh bedding regularly. Moisture exceeding 20 percent is too high. If you kneel with all your weight in the calf bedding, any moisture on your pants indicates the bedding is too wet. Straw should be bedded deep enough that the calf can nestle in. This traps warm air around the calf, which will help maintain body heat. For winter months, the straw should be deep enough that when the calf is lying down its legs are generally not visible. Calf jackets are another way to protect calves from losing excess body heat. A field trial from North Dakota State University found that calves housed in hutches during winter had higher average daily gains when wearing calf jackets. Gains for jacketed calves averaged 1.15 pounds per day for the first three weeks of life, while calves without jackets averaged 0.82 pounds per day. When using calf jackets, ensure that they are sized correctly and stay dry. The use of deep straw bedding and calf jackets during low temperatures will help young calves stay warm resul ng in improved average daily gains and immune status.

It is me to change winter bedding and bring out the calf jackets to provide calves extra warmth for low temperatures. If you normally use shavings as calf bedding during summer, it is now me to switch to straw bedding to help keep calves warm. Michigan State University Extension recommends using straw bedding when temperatures are 400 Fahrenheit or below. Straw bedding is ideal when day me highs or night me lows are below the thermo‐neutral zone for a young calf. A newborn Holstein calf has to burn energy to keep herself warm when temperatures are below 500F. If there is dra , wet bedding, or an immune system challenge, then the cri cal temperature is higher. A calf is born with only two to four percent of body weight as fat, which will not last long if she is forced to burn fat for heat produc on. Burning body fat for heat can lead to lower growth rates, compromised immune status, and even death. The need for straw bedding at this me of the year to provide warmth for young calves is true both in barns and in hutches. Unless the calf barn has supplemental heat, it should be well ven lated, but without dra s on the calf, and within 50 of outside temperatures, necessita ng the use of straw bedding and calf jackets.
Calf Bedding Materials for Winter
Your calves can tell you a lot whether or not you have enough bedding. In the winter me, the goal is to have a Nes ng Score 3, which provided enough bedding to cover the calf’s legs, and allow it to burrow on those cold winter days!
Source: Fond du Lac County From Field to Barn Newsletter
For the winter months, “a calf can stand a good deal of cold weather if it is dry and protected from dra s” (Agriculture Experiment Sta on Circular, July 1931). Bedding is a key component for winter calf management, providing a good base to soak up in liquid, provide insula on, and allow nes ng. It is recommended to have a minimum 20‐25 pounds of bedding per calf to start, and add two to three pound addi onal per day.

How Much Feed Do I Have? With the end of the year quickly approaching, it is a good me to develop your balance sheet which includes feed
inventories. Balance sheets give a snapshot in me of where your farm is financially, and they should be completed the same me each year. What be er me than the end of the year! Included in the balance sheet is feed inventory. So, how much feed do you have on inventory? When it comes to bunker silos, the amount of feed present can vary tremendously due to the amount of compac on that was applied, or not applied, to any par cular site/structure. The corn silage and haylage calcula ons to the right are based on averages of 42 lbs/3 and 32 lbs/ 3, respec vely. Unfortunately, the range
for corn silage can be from 22 lbs/ 3 to 67 lbs/ 3, while haylage generally ranges from 9 lbs/ 3 to 32 lbs/ 3. Remember this is an es mate, it is meant to help us reach an acceptable range without actually weighing every load we remove from the structure. When in doubt, use the average values provided. Silo bags have ben popular for years, but especially when we have extra forage, as they allow us the ability to expand our storage capacity without making a capital investment. You can see the es mated values for the amount of forage contained in “1 foot” of length in a bag depending on the diameter. The amount of horsepower at the PTO while bagging, the rate the wagons were emp ed, the moisture at the me of ensiling, etc., all have an impact on the final densi es of the silo bag. The calcula ons to the right gives you a reasonable idea of what a producer could expect given one of them know the size of the bag they are working with.
Remember, when you purchase a 200’ bag, you had to e off both ends when it was finished, so, you may only have 184’ or so that is actually filled.
