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 research proven ration to help give dry cows body condition they need for good pioduction after they freshen. Puuna Dairy Conditioner is an extia-palatable 12V2 percent protein ration It’s fortified with vitamins A and D plus extia phosphoi us to help guard against milk fever. 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 require less Dairy Conditioner than a cow in only fair condition being fed fair quality roughages.
