FEED PURINA
DAIRY CONDITIONER
As a dairyman, you know that good milk production
doesn’t just happen It’s something you plan for by
establishing a heid with the genetic potential for good
production, then managing and feeding your cows so
they’ll produce up to their bred-m ability.
Many successful local dahymen also plan for good pro
duction with a proven piogram of dry cow feeding.
They need Purina Dany Conditioner, a research
proven ration to help give dry cows body condition
they need for good production after they freshen
Purina Dairy Conditioner is an extra-palatable 12%
percent protein ration. It’s fortified with vitamins A
and D plus extra phosphorus to help guard 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 roughages you feed. For example,
a cow dried off in good condition being fed high-quality
roughages would require less Daily Conditioner than
a cow in only fair condition being fed fair quality
roughages.
Drop in soon and get your free copy of the
Purina Dry Cow Program folder We’ll be glad
to show you how Purina Dairy Conditioner can
help you prepare your dry cows.for good pro
duction next lactation.
