PROFITS!
Here’s a sure way to build extra profits in your hog operation. Knock
out two major causes of high production costs . . . worms and
disease-causing germs.
Worm hogs with TRAMISOL in feed!
TRAMiSOL levamisole is all the wormer you will ever need. It knocks
out all major species of stomach, intestinal and lungworms. No
other wormer hits all three types.
Keep hogs healthy with feeds containing AUREO S • P 250.
AUREO S-P 250 aids in the prevention of bacterial enteritis (scours)
and cervical abscesses. Helps maintain weight gains in pigs with
atrophic rhinitis. Improve weight gains and feed efficiency in pigs
up to 75 pounds.
This season use the WORM’N GERM Program for bigger hog profits.
See your feed supplier for details on this profit-making program.
