Concerned about Mold or Mycotoxins in Late Harvest Corn?

Mold and mycotoxins found in this year’s late harvest corn could lead to health issues in your cattle such as hindering digestive and reproductive performance as well as decreasing milk production and growth.  Dr. Noah B Litherland of the University of Minnesota has recommendations in regards to feeding moldy corn to your livestock. More information is available at www.extension.umn.edu/lateharvest/.

 

 

Fast Holiday access to DHIA information

If you have internet access, you can access your reports within seconds of processing being completed.  This will be a nice feature for the upcoming holidays. There will be no charge to you.  This access will save you time and if you choose to access data here instead of by mail, it will save costs to MN DHIA. 

1.     Logon to www.mndhia.org

2.     Click on Web Reports LogIn

3.     Enter Herd code and RAC (4 digit Release Code).   Please call 800.827.3442 if you need your RAC.

4.     Click on Web Reports on the left hand side.

5.     View this month’s reports as well as past months (only for months you have processed here)

6.     You can download the reports to your computer if you wish to look at them any time during the month.  They will be saved under sample date so next month you will still be able to look at this month’s reports.

 

If your Field Rep has entered your email address into their computer, you will receive an email telling you when your herd has processed, and providing a link to the logon page on the DRMS website. 

 

If you would like help getting this set up on your computer, please ask your Field Rep on sample day or call Robyn at 800.827.3442, extension 19.

Congratulations to Ron Lange for achieving 15 years of service this month for Winona County DHIA. Ron tests 6,260 cows in 42 herds. Please congratulate Ron the next time he visits your farm.
