Keep Milk Lines
Full and Flowing...
What your cows need to keep milk lines full
and flowing. Wayne Dairy Supplement. It
keeps costs down, performance up. New
Wayne 42% Dairy, preferred 2 to 1 over the
old formula in palatability tests, contains urea
that lets rumen bacteria manufacture more of
their own protein, saving you feed dollars.
Wayne 32% Dairy is a non-urea, all-vege
table protein supplement for farm giams.
Both contain a blend of popular dairy feed
proteins, vitamins, minerals and molasses
that outperforms soybean, cottonseed or
linseed meals and brewers' or distillers' dried
grains fed individually.
Feed for the difference innovations make.
Feed Wayne.
