For good production next lactation,
FEED PURINA
DAIRY CONDITIONER
As a dauyman, you know that good milk production
doesn’t just happen It’s something you plan for by
establishing a held with the genetic potential for good
production, then managing and feeding your cows so
they’ll pioduce up to their bied-m ability.
Many successful local dairymen also plan for good pro
duction with a pi oven program of diy cow feeding
They need Purina Dairy Conditioner, a reseaich
proven lation to help give dry cows body condition
they need for good production after they freshen.
Punna Daily Conditioner is an extra-palatable 12 Vs
pei cent piotein ration It’s fortified with vitamins A
and D plus exti a phosphorus to help guard against milk
fevei
Purina Daily Conditioner is low-cost, too, because the
amounts you feed depend on your cows’ condition and
on the quality of the roughages you feed. For example,
a cow dried off in good condition being fed high-quality
roughages would require less Dairy Conditioner than
a cow in only fair condition being fed fair quality
roughages.
Drop in soon and get your free copy of the
Purina Dry Cow Piogram folder. We’ll be glad
to show you how Purina Dairy Conditioner can
help you prepaie your dry cows for good pro
duction next lactation.
