SUPPLEMENT GRASS
WITH PURINA
Good grass is a benefit. Good dairymen take advan
tage of every acre of pasture they have. Cows love
grass and it stimulates milk flow.
Yet, good dairymen know that grass is 85% water.
As summer advances it turns brown, losses its palata
bility and is even less nutritious.
Tests at the Purina Dairy Center proved that cows
fed a grain supplement with grass produced up to
20% more milk. They kept up in body condition,
too, and held up better in production in following
lactations.
Visit us at the store, or give us a ring. We’d like to
suggest Purina’s Research-proved plan for suppl
menting grass to help you get more milk from yo
herd over the summer.
