§ 55. Sir A. Baillieasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware that in different winter milk yields are mainly due to insufficient feeding of cows and heifers in the six weeks before calving; and whether this will be remedied by in creased rationed food?
Mr. HudsonI am well aware of the need for adequate feeding of cows and heifers before calving, but I cannot altogether accept that the position is as stated by my hon. and gallant Friend. Dairy herds receive priority in rations and special provision is made for in-calf animals.
§ Mr. LoftusIs my right hon. Friend aware that dried grass is the finest possible food for cattle and that a great deal of it is available, but is not being used, in the aerodromes of the country?
