SPONSORED Achieving A Calf’s Genetic Potential Starts ADVERTORIAL With Colostrum Management Evine Van Riemsdijk head of SCCL Europe

Mother nature’s perfect food It can’t be stressed enough: colostrum is mother nature’s perfect food for a calf’s best start in life. It is dense in nutritional and health supporting factors allowing the new born calf to adapt to a challeng- ing environment and to start developing into your future top producer:

• Colostral fat – the main energy source for a new born calf to generate body heath immediately after birth. • Colostral proteins – a unique source of health support to optimise the calf’s capability to perform to its best in a challenging environment. • Growth factors – the nutritional source required by a calf to start growing and developing.

Colostrum management: Targets and protocols In the first hours after birth it is critical that the calf receives at least 2 feedings of colostrum.

Prevent cows losing excess bodyweight. Typically herds with the highest of concentrate supplementation performance can be manipulated by milk protein yields have the “best” average condition score (close to 2.5) changing specific nutrients or nutrient balances. compared to those with cows that are either too thin or very variable. 3. The first group to focus on are the dry cows ideally managed in two Forage quality is the foundation to achieving high compositional yields, groups - a far off and a close up group. The key task here is to maintain both protein and butterfat, economically. Grass silage ideally should be high dry matter intakes without oversupplying energy especially in the 70 D Value with a low acid loading. If dry it must be precision chopped, far off group. In the close up group the base forage diet should be topped not like long chop forage wagon silage as it depresses forage dry matter up with 2 to 3 Kg concentrates that provide all the essential, vitamins, intake. Longer chop silage is fine for high D, wetter silage. minerals and trace elements and also increase overall energy supply to We must keep in the back of our minds that cows evolved to eat grass, 120 Mj per day. I want to particularly highlight the importance protein and unlike fermented silage, has a naturally high sugar content and no supply to the close up group and I have had some excellent responses lactic acid. The Dutch make the best silage dry, high D and high in sugar to increasing rumen by pass protein supply and also feeding of specific but weather in the UK makes this very difficult and as we try and cut rumen by pass amino acids in terms of colostrum yield and milk protein sooner for high D it can end up too wet and acidic. yield in early lactation. Dry cows tend to be fed low protein forages (big bale silage or silage plus chopped straw ) which can be far too low for Wet acidic silage is a nightmare to balance and whilst I would normally high genetic merit cows to transition well on. aim to supply high levels of fermentable carbohydrates in the form of The Ayrshire Journal 22 Milk Yield - As nutrient supply increases yield increases in a curvilinear relationship and with a law of diminishing returns. Milk composition – Protein . As nutrient supply increas- es so does milk protein concentration but gradually the response slows to a maximum then declines just before milk yield declines. The maximum yield of protein oc- curs at about the same nutrient input level as maximum milk yield. Milk compostion – Butterfat . This is different. When you first start to increase nutrient supply one gets a small increase in BF % but it soon starts to decline and then rapidly declines at high concentrate feed rates. There is however more nutritional flexibility to manipulate but- terfat than there is for milk protein.

4. During lactation the first focus should be to feed enough energy to meet cows needs for bodyweight change, milk yield and composition remembering that the milk of Ayrshires has a higher milk solids content than that of Holsteins for example so the energy required Kenyan Ayrshire Heifer in milk Diet at 60 Days per litre of milk produced is higher. Where the energy comes from is also really important. Whilst feeding enough total energy described in terms of megajoules is one thing it is also vital to Hay 7.5 Kg Dry, low digestibility, forage supply sufficient GLUCOGENIC energy to maximise milk protein Maize (no cobs) silage 7.5 kg Moist, very low digestibility forage yields which is only achieved by feeding plenty of starch.

Excellent slow release know feed fat for example megalac has a high megajoule content starch source but it unfortunately has a zero glucogenic energy content in contrast to maize grain that has one of the highest glucogenic Wheat Bran 2.0 Kg A good source of digestible fibre and energy values.

Since milk protein (casein) is made up of a particular balance of Maize Germ 1.1 kg High energy - without excess starch amino acids it should come as no surprise that, by manipulating Fish Meal 0.4 Kg High in by-pass protein with excellent the supply and quality of protein leaving the rumen which then alters the level of amino acids being delivered to the udder, does amino acid balance but banned in have an impact on milk protein yield. Grass silage contains protein the UK hence the use of AminoMax but is a very poor source of rumen by pass protein with a poor -L as an alternative in the UK. balance of amino acids. Molasses 2.0 Kg To improve intake / reduce dust and 6. As yield rises it becomes progressively more important to supply rapidly available carbohydrates supplement with more rumen by pass protein such as rumen Minerals 0.2 Kg Source of essential minerals, trace protected soya ( eg AminoMax L ) and in some cases specific elements and vitamins individual rumen protected amino acids such as methionine. These become more important if distillery products are also fed Water Ad libitum which tend to have a poor amino acid profile. The other advantage of using concentrated rumen by pass protein sources is that is also possible to meet protein requirements at lower levels of crude protein – an important environmental benefit. Summary : From a nutritional perspective forage quality, as we all know, has a huge impact on the performance of dairy cows but as milk yield targets rise the nutrient composition of the concentrate portion of the diet has a progressively larger impact. This becomes even more pronounced as forage quality declines. To highlight this and for interest I have detailed below an example diet I was asked for by a Kenyan farmer, Lawrence Ngugi, who owns 2 Ayrshire heifers and wanted me to recommend a diet using the feeds he had available to increase milk solids yields. It’s amazing for me to see where in the world the Ayrshire breed is farmed but also being asked similar questions to those I am challenged with at home in the UK ! 23 The Ayrshire Journal TechTonic Advanced rumen technology

What a great show it was with calves arriving from every country in the United Kingdom and handlers from the UK and around the world, it had a real international feeling.

For the first time ever, the UK had invited Ayrshire World Federation countries to send young delegates to join in with the UK Young Breeders, I would like to thank those members who supplied calves for our international visitors.

The first day saw the handlers put through their paces by Judge Claire Swale and Claire definitely made them work for their prizes. In the junior class it was split because of such a large entry, Kyle Scott was first and Arlo Atkins was second in the younger age class with Logan Hendrie coming out on top in his class over his twin brother David.

In the Intermediate class 13-15yrs which was the strongest class of the day, Millie Tomlinson came first very closely followed by Hollie Keenan.

The senior class 16-20yrs was won by Iida Maki from Finland with Millie Spencer finishing second and again in the mature class it had an International feel with Julie Macfarlane from Canada coming first and Jake Sayer the runner up spot. The Championship class really did make Claire think and it was her two Intermediate handlers Millie and Hollie who were very worthy Champion and Reserve and in the Honourable Mention spot was Iida Maki.

The following day saw some outstanding calves in the ring judged by Iwan Thomas of the Paith herd with the Calf born after the 01/03/19 being won by

Sandyford Famed Clover from E T Tomlinson & Son was the victor in the 01/09/18 to 30/11/18 class and another one, two in the next class for the Denman’s herd of Jake Sayer, Supreme Lizzie 1st and Supreme Rosie 2nd. In the last class of the day another Sandyford Supreme daughter triumphed Sandyford Supreme Sea Lily owned in syndicate by E & O Wake & E T Tomlinson & Son with another of the Sea Lily Family in second, Marleycote Sea Lily 29 owned by Adam Smith.

In the Championship, Sandyford Supreme Sea Lily was tapped out giving her the advantage with her balance and strength over the reserve champion Denman’s Supreme Lizzie and she was placed over Marleycote Sea Lily 29 who was Honourable mention because of her long feminine neck and depth of rib. Thank you to Deborah Tomlinson for filling in at the last moment as our collecting steward and we are very grateful to our main sponsor National Milk Recording.

Well done to all exhibitors for a great show and to our young breeders from home and abroad you put on a fantastic show and we already look forward to next year’s show.

In this pedigree there have been many crosses of the top sire of the time Pant Dictator and this mating son on mother gave us the cow Warmhill Miss Hawaii who had four calving with 2 sets of mixed twins. Warmhill Ann EX92 was one of the mixed twins so this family has a lucky streak connected to it as well. Warmhill Ann EX92 was also a noted show cow in her day winning many championship throughout the South West. She was by the well-known sire McCornick Nelson and reached the score of EX92 and she was bred to the bull Pam Ayrs Dreamcatcher a bull that only had three progeny but was from a strong cow family on both sides being the Melody’s from Drointon and the Miss Norma’s from Stamford.

We had six countries send delegates to the UK tour which started in Northern Ireland on Saturday 12th October. The delegates that attended were Lachlan Forster from Australia, Iida Maki from Finland, Olivia Engstrom from Sweden, Gabrielle Steiner from New Zealand, Corey Jodrey from the USA and Julie Macfarlane from Canada. On the first day we visited four outstanding herds. The Beechmount herd of the McConnell family, The Grove herd of the Gordon family, The Ardmore herd of the Hunter Family and The Ravenhill herd of the Suffern Family and I must say we saw to many great cows to single any out. That evening we had a social evening with the Ulster Ayrshire Breeders Club. The second day we visited the King families Kirkinriola herd and we were also shown around their Free-Range Egg production facility. It was then on to some local sightseeing and we visited the well-known attraction in the North of the island namely the Giants Causeway which as usual was wet and windy. Day three saw us travel to Scotland and for some of the delegates it was their first ever sailing on a boat something as an island person we take for granted. In Scotland we visited the herds of the Watson families, High Mark herd and the McGarva Family’s Horseclose Herd with an overnight stay in Gretna. No marriages took place in Gretna but friendships were being made. Day four saw the group tour three more herds this time in Cumbria at the Mattinson family’s Troutbeck herd, the Sanderson families Sanderson herd and the Armstrong’s Plaskett herd. During the evening, there was a get together with the Cumberland Ayrshire Breeders Club. On day five we were joined by young breeders from the Cumberland Club and it was a day without cows, we visited the outdoor activity centre in Keswick for a morning of walking through the trees and zip wiring back to the ground. All the delegates enjoyed this apart from the oldest namely the bus driver who had multiple heart failures.

The Ayrshire Journal 34 World Ayrshire Federation Youth Tour

Day six saw us visit three more herds, first was the Seedall’s Jamara Herd, the Patrick’s Whitegate herd and the Needham’s Bradnop herd and again to many great cows to single out but daughters of great interest were by Hunnington Famous, Troutbeck Skyfall and Swaites Nickle. That evening there was a social event in Buxton organised by the Derbyshire Ayrshire Club. It took the format of Pig Racing and the delegates raced against each other with America being victorious. On day seven we visited three farms, the Berresford’s Heydale herd, the Broadley’s Whitecroft herd and the Harris’s Alkmonton herd. The evening was spent at the All Breeds All Britain calf show clipping and training calves for the weekend show. I would like to thank all those breeders that were good enough to supply calves for the delegates to use. On day eight the delegates took part in the calf handling competition with all delegates competing in their age groups with some standout performances from the delegates. Iida and Julie reached the Championship and Iida was pulled into the honourable mention position. On Day nine it was the calf show and again all the delegates showed their calves at a very high standard, Corey was star delegate with his calf Denmans Supreme Lizzy being placed Reserve Champion Calf. There was a few tears shed when the final stop of Heathrow airport was reached! It was a real honour meeting and taking these delegates around the UK, each country represented should be proud of the people who they sent on the trip as they were a true credit to the world Ayrshire family. Thank you to all the host farms and clubs for organising social events, without your support we simply could not have hosted such a wonderful experience for our delegates. I would also like to thank sponsors Cattle Services (AYR) Ltd who provided hoodies for our delegates and the Dumfries and district Ayrshire breeders club who donated funds towards the cost of the hire of the mini bus.

Ulster It is hard to believe we have left the summer months behind and are now well into Autumn.The winners of the overall prizes and varying categories from our annual herds competition were announced at the Stockjudging evening which was held at the King family farm, Kirkinriola, Ballymena, where, as usual, we were made very wel- come. We were extremely well fed and watered thanks to Jacqueline King and her team. Meanwhile Martin, Amy and Jack were busy set- ting up a rather unusual pen for one of the stock judging classes - I am pretty sure it was the first time we had to judge a pen of calves that included an Ayrshire, Jersey, Holstein and Shorthorn! It certainly led to some head scratching and debate, but it was good fun and certainly different!!

The top honours this year went to John and Caroline Suffern’s Raven- hill herd who were first in the large Herd category and top overall Herd. The top small herd went to Raymond Stewart’s Fortified Herd, congratulations to all the winners, it is hard work entering these competitions and that does not go unnoticed. We are very grateful to our sponsors Danske Bank and AI Services, without whom we could not run this event.

In September we had our annual Northern Ireland Dairy Calf Show, we must congratulate our Champions Robert and Caroline McConnell with their calf Beechmount Marie Girl 24, R & M King were Reserve with Kirkinriola HF Shona, Honourable Mention went to Robert and Caroline McConnell with Beechmount Marie Girl 23. It was a great day for Robert and Caroline, and well done to all.

Champion Handler was Jess Hall and Reserve Champion was Cam- eron Carson, competition was very close, but Jess’s experience pre- vailed. It was great to see so many young breeders showing and bodes well for the future of the Club.

Judge Iwan Thomas was very impressed with the quality of calves shown and we thank him very much for doing such a professional job and taking time to talk to the young handlers and exhibitors. His interest and advice was very much appreciated. They were a lovely group of young people and it was a pleasure to welcome them. In early October we had the pleasure of welcoming Young Breeders from across the Globe to our Club. Ably escorted by Alan Timbrell We have also had our first Club Meeting of the season and we they enjoyed Herd visits to Beechmount, Grove, Ravenhill, Ardmore had a most enjoyable talk by Martin King on his recent visit to the and Kirkinriola herds where they got a chance to see how we farm ‘Floating Farm’ in Holland, a very different concept and way of in Ulster.
