FEED PURINA
DAIRY CONDITIONER
As a dauyman, jou know that good milk pioduction
doesn’t just happen It’s something you plan foi by
establishing a heid with the genetic potential foi good
pioduction, then managing and feeding youi cows so
they’ll pioduce up to then bied-in ability.
Many successful local dauy men also plan for good pio
ductwn with a proven piogiam of diy cow feeding.
They need Purina Dairy Conditioner, a leseaich
pioven ration to help give dry cows body condition
they need for good production after they fieshen
Purina Dairy Conditioner is an extia-palatable 12%
percent protein lation It’s foitified with vitamins A
and D plus extra phosphorus to help guaid against milk
fevei.
Purina Dairy 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 requite less Dairy Conditionei than
a cow in only fair condition being fed fan quality
loughages.
Diop in soon and get your fiee copy of the
Purina Diy Cow Piogiam folder We’ll be glad
to show you how Punna Dairy Conditioner can
help you prepaie youi dry cows foi good pio
duction next lactation.
