Phone 392-7227 How- stop throwing away $2-4 worth of milh every time yoo treat a cow for mastitis. Use Medifuran, the effective new mastitis treatment, and you can market three to five milkings that you must dump when using most other drugs. That's right, three to five milkings! Sixty to 100 lbs. or motfc And that's important money! With Medifuran, you discard milk for only 36 hours (3 milkings) after the last treatment. The other products sold at drug, feed, or farm supply stores usually require that you dump milk from 60 to 96 hours after treatment. And Medifuran is a better treatment for mastitis clear-up. It can't promote build-up of resistant bacteria strains. It's effective against the major types of bacteria (including staph) that cause most mastitis in your herd. It works, cow after cow, month after month. Stop throwing away $2 - $4 worth of milk every time you treat a cow for mastitis. Switch to Medifuran. -gj CLS\RK Medifuran contains furaltadone, product of the Norwich Pharmacal Company Wed.
