If you’i e not among the many good local
dairjmen who have started mixing
Purina Dany Conditioner Special with
your own giain to build a reseaich
proied diy cow ration, it can pay you to
check into this low-cost way of feeding
dry cows.
Purina Dany Conditioner is a 16 percent
piotem ration, fortified with extra Vita
mins A and D plus phosphorus to help
guard against milk fever.
To help you save on diy cow feeding,
Purina Research recommends varvmg
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 were in only
fair condition and if the roughages were
of only fair quality

Using Puima Check-R-Mi\ - foimulas we
can build you a low-cost diy cow ration,
combining Purina Dany Conditioner
with your giairf. Or, if you’ie feeding
low-piotem roughages, it may pay you
to feed Dairy Conditioner “straight"
just as it comes from the bag.
Moi e and more successful area dairymen
are proving that good diy cow feeding
pays off in extra cow condition and
extra milk production in the next lacta
tion For example, 100 to 200 pounds <of
additional body weight at freshening can
pay off in 1,000 to 2,000 pounds of extra
milk during the lactation.
Drop in soon and get youi fiee copy of
the Purina Dry Cow Piogram folder.
We’ll be glad to point out bow Purina
Dairy Conditioner Special can help pre
pale your dry cows for good production
at low cost
