Document Summary
Compare open lots, bedded packs and deep pit housing. The nitrogen available per unit of manure varies assuming the cattle are fed the same diet. In the open lots, nitrogen is lost because it is exposed to the air. In deep pits, the nitrogen is more concentrated. Bedded pack pens contain more nitrogen because not only does the manure have nitrogen but so does the bedding materials. A calf is normally presented with both front hooves first followed by the nose. Breech is upside down and backwards, where the tail is coming first and not the hind legs. A calf jack refers to the long metal device discussed by dave or marshall used to apply large amounts of traction to a calf at birth. Obstetrical chains are attached to the legs, traction is applied via a lever. Ob chains are stainless steal chains used to assist a cow while giving birth.
