Farm Focus by Richard Melton Kxtension Livestock Agent Banks Wannamaker Kxtension Field Crops Agent LIVESTOCK MANAGEMENT Water It's amazing how important something so often taken for granted is to all of us. The past two summers have made most Hoke County farmers and their families aware of its importance, if by some chance they didn't realize it before. Also, there are probably several families in the county who had or have had wells go dry on them. Dry weather like we have had brings the importance of water to us and our crops close to home. Yet. do we ever consider the importance of water to our livestock. All to often they go forgotten when water shortages crop up. The cattle, swine, and horses produced in the county require water to survive, also. Estimated daily requirements vary by weight for each species. It is recommended that beef cattle have an abundant supply of water before them at all times. A mature animal will consume an average of about 12 gallons of water per day. Younger animals would require proportionately less, while lactating cows would require more. Swine should be provided plenty of clean, fresh water. Under ideal conditions the source should be arranged so that they could not stand or wallow in it. Preferably, that source would be an automatic waterer with water available at all times. If handwatering is practiced, they should be watered two or more times per-pes of livestock discussed here are: (I) 12 gallons per day for a mature cow infHH? tCl lV\ gallons Per dav per /i ! .'?? ^ V wc,8ht for a hog (?J) 12 gallons per day for a mature horse. y These figures are only averages. Actual consumption depends on ,nH an,K al 3nd ,he conditions under which ? |ives ,f anythi these figures should be used for estimating the minimum amount of water needed. Also we should all be sure to keep adequate, fresh water avail able tor our pets. With the coming 01 farmer temperatures thev will dnnking more water for body cooling. Too many times pets are omP ,hUSe ,hCy drink 8as?line or some other toxic substance while looking for a liquid to aid them in cooling their body. So let's all keep gasoline and other poisonous "jatenals in their proper containers and provide adequate water for our Ticks: The arrival of warm weather has signalled the start of tick season As the weather continues to warm up ticks will become more active Also, we will start to come into contact with their habitat more often because of our increased outdoor activities. Yet another p?"srCC contact is through out The best way to avoid ticks is to stay on wide paths or roads when in the woods. If you have to go into an area likely to be infested, examine your clothing and body at least twice daily. That reduces the chance of ticks becoming attached to you. Perhaps just as important, we should frequently check our pets for ticks. Not only can they carry ticks on themselves, thev can also bring them into the home or other pet quarters. That can lead to an infestation of you and your family. Commercial materials are available to protect your pel and net quarters. H Also most insect repellants are somewhat effective against ticks, so you can protect yourself. Shrubs and bushes in the yard can be sprayed with certain pesticides to COn ..,t.'c:k populations there as well While enjoying the warm weather, let's keep a watchful eye out for ticks because tick season is upon us.
