cows for good production at low cost
If you’ie not among the many good local
dairymen who have started mixing
Purina Dauy Conditioner Special with
your own giam to build a reseaich
pioved diy cow ration, it can pay you to
check into this low-cost way of feeding
diy cows.
Purina Dany Conditionei is a 16 peicent
piotem lation, foitified with extra Vita
mins A and D plus phosphoius to help
guai d against milk fever.
To help you save on diy cow feeding,
Purina Reseaich recommends varying
feeding levels, depending on cow condi
tion and the quality of your roughages.
For example, if a cow is in good condi
tion and your roughages are of excellent
quality, you would feed less Purina dry
cow ration than if the cow weie in only
fair condition and if the roughages were
of only fair quality.
