DOES YOUR
METHIONINE?
Most high producing cows need more methionine than their
normal diet provides. Red Rose Dairy Booster Pellets with
Methionine-Analog provides this needed methionine.
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.
