SUBJECT: PELLETED DAIRY FEEDS
In order to get optimum results from pelleted dairy feeds a
special procedure must be followed in the pelleting as the pro-
cess requirements of ruminants and nonruminants differ.
Our Green Pastures Dry and Freshening Pellets and our
Green Pastures 16% Dairy Pellets are made by special process
to insure maximum performance of dairy cattle.
