Broiler - fryer lot- average
prices declined % cent today
to a level of 16.89 cents per
lb. Demand rather poor for
discount. Compared to or
dinary milk replacers, you
need only a little more than
half as much Veal-N-Gro to
get calves through the criti
cal first six weeks. In good
health and at the right
weight.
Veal-N-Gro is a 24%-fat
milk replacer that is very
high in milk product—7o%.
It contains antibiotics (25
mgs per lb.) to ward off calf
disorders, and reconstitutes
quickly in warm water.
