‘Prices for dock weights,
Beacon now offers dairymen a
NEW CONCEPT
in dairy nutrition to promote
• Better Herd Health
• Cow Longevity
• Higher Milk Production
All Beacon dairy:rations ore now formu
lated with new Narrower, scientifically
balanced calcium:phosphorus ratios that
are experimentally - proven.
s?/‘
Beacon dairy rations now carry 15% more
fatal phosphorus and 30-40% more available
Inorganic phosphorus than previously. The new
phosphorus source Is more soluble in the digestive
tract and thus has greater biological availability.
The new availability and new higher levels of
phosphorus plus the narrower calcium:phosphorus
ratio mean better digestibility of the total ration,
more efficient calcium utilization (important to
bone formation and milk production} and are
helpful in keeping calcium blood serum values
above the level where milk fever occurs. Higher
available phosphorus also means better conver
sion of carotene to vitamin A.
Other Improvements include the addition of
magnesium (needed for proper body metabolism
and to prevent grass tetany] and zinc (important
in hide and hair health}.
These changes bring dairymen better nutrition
for their herds, will improve the utilization of
many nutrients and promote better herd health
and productivity.
We have full Information on all Beacon
dairy rations. Why not call us today?
