BOOSTER PELLETS is a new feed formulated to be used as a “top dress” feed (about 2% lbs. per cow per day—in two feedings—for an intake of 25 grams of M-Analog). Or, Dairy Booster Pellets can be used in mixes with home grains. These pellets (17 per cent protein) are very palatable, easily fed and can be used in milking parlors, bunk feeding, and bulk feeding. Trial feed Red Rose Dairy Booster Pellets with Methionine-Analog to your dairy herd and you’ll see an improvement in milk production. Try them . . . and you’ll always feed them.
