New Feed for Layers
Wok
Special attention has been paid to the balance of energy,
amino acids, vitamins and minerals. Ingredients are chosen
to meet the critical amino acid need of the laying hen with
out wasteful use of expensive pi'otein sources. Use of syn
thetic vitamin A permits further economies.
The net result is a layer feed to help poultrymen gain
greater feed dollar returns.
Just call us today for more particulars
on Beacon Egg Check A. It’s a feed for
high egg production, loiv cost per dozen .
