For Details
If you’re not among the many good local
dairymen who have started mixing
Purina Dairy Conditioner Special with
your own giam to build a icsearch
proved diy cow ration, it can pay you to
check into this low cost way of feeding
dry cows.
Purina Dahy Conditioner is a 16 percent
protein ration, foitified with extra Vita
mins A and D plus phosphorus to help
guaid against milk fever.
To help you save on dry cow feeding,
Purina Research recommends vai' mg
feeding levels, depending on cow condi
tion and the quality of your roughages
For example, if a cow is in good condi
tion and youi i oughages are of excellent
quality, you would feed less Purina dry
cow ration than if the cow were in only
fair condition and if the roughages were
of only fair quality.
