THIS YEAR GROW PULLETS WITH
You wouldn’t give beef feeds to a dairy cow,.Nor should
you feed broiler-type rations to replacement chicks or
pullets. That is why Beacon has specialized feeds and
growing programs for your future layers. *
The mineral-protein-energy balance is designed to
help grow vigorous pullets... birds without the excess
abdominal fat that can mean prolapse and high laying
house mortality. The Beacon Growing Programs (all
mash or mash and scratch) supply the nutrients needed
to develop fully feathered, strong boned, big framed
birds with plenty of room for egg-making “insides!”
This year grow pullets with stamina**. pullets that
ARE UNIFORMLY BETTER BECAUSE THEY’RE BEACON-TROLLED
