First,-Agway’s Nu-Miikerpels 16 is 100% pelleted. This
saves you time and labor, because the pellets flow freely
in bulk bins and automated systems.
Full pelleting also allows Agway to use lower-cost (yet
high milk-producing) ingredients than the ingredients
which must be used in making a natural-textured feed. This
lowers the cost per unit of energy or TON in
Nu-Milkerpels—which is reflected in its price
to you.
Nu-Milkerpels contain urea as a protein
irce. Why? Urea makes high-quality protein
available in the cow’s rumen. She makes more
'esearch indicates urea aids in the digestion of
ration.
rpels use lignin sulfate as the pellet binder. 1
This organic material, unlike the inert clay in many pellets,
actually adds feeding value to the pellet—about $1 50
worth per ton.
Agway puts into this pellet everything that is known on
the subject of how to make a dairy pellet profitable for
you. Test this statement. Compare Nu-Milkerpels' 75
therms of milk-making energy, and its price, against the
energy and price of your present dairy ration.
Then put these economic facts to work for you. Order
