FEED PURINA
DAIRY CONDITIONER
As a danyman, you know that good milk production
doesn’t just happen It’s something you plan for by
establishing a herd with the genetic potential for good
production, then managing and feeding your cows so
they’ll produce up to their bred-in ability.
Many successful local dairymen also plan for good pro
duction with a proven piogram of dry cow feeding.
They need Punna Dairy Conditioner, a research
proven ration to help gjve dry cows body condition
they need for good production after they freshen.
Punna Dairy Conditioner is an extia-palatable 1214
percent piotem ration It’s foitified with vitamins A
and D plus extra phosphorus to help guai d 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 xoughages you feed For example,
a cow di red off in good condition being fed high-quality
roughages would lequue less Dany Conditioner than
a cow in only fair condition being fed fan quality
roughages.
Drop in soon and get your fiee copy of the
Punna Dry Cow Program foldei We 11 be glad
to show you how Pui 111 a Dairy Conditioner can
help you piepaie join diy cows for good pro
duction next lactation.
