The new, improved broiler feeds which we started to deliver this month should; SUBSTANTIALLY LOWER YOUR COST OF BROILER PRODUCTION. It will take LESS feed to produce a pound of broiler meat than hereto fore because; 1. The Energy Value has been increased. 2. A better balance of Essential Amino Acids, Vitamins, and Carbohydrates has been achieved. 3. Unknown Growth factor—Activity has been substantially im- proved. In addition; It should take LESS time to finish your birds to their re quired weight and they will show a NICER FINISH than you have had so far. i Our clients will notice the results on their birds started after April first. We will be glad to go into details with those of you who use other feeds now. a\^'/ t/. Miller & Bushong, Inc.
