First, Agway’s Nu-Milkerpels 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 makinga natural-textured feed. This
lowers the cost per unit of energy or TDN 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 mikes more
•esearch indicates urea aids in the dfgestion of

rpels use lignin sulfate as the pellet binder.
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
