For Early-Bird Efl Mashes contain the precise balance between energy value and produ l | tion value (proteins, vitamins and minerals) that gives you top fecS conversion . . . top feed performance. fi \ Here’s why this precise balance between energy and values is so important to you. If energy value is too low in relatic|| to production value, a hen will consume more feed than it actually need # and gives you poor feed conversion and high feed costs per dozen produced. If, on the other hand, energy value is too high in relation tod| level of proteins, vitamins and minerals in the feed, then the hen's km J da consumption is too low for efficient results. 1 Manufacturers of Fine Feeds Since 1875 ★ ★ ★ PERFORMANCE! nominator, the energy level is varied.
