AUREO S*P 250* has proved to be the one feed additive that
provides a wide range of benefits to pork producers. No other an
tibacterial in feed does so many things to help produce fast gains -
improve feed efficiency - and provide superior protection against
the major diseases that threaten sows and growing hogs.
AUREO S*P 250 helps save feed - reduces labor and medication
costs by keeping hogs gaining in the presence of atrophic rhinitis,
controlling bacterial scours, reducing cervical abscesses - and
helping prevent these diseases during stress.
AUREO S*P 250 is beneficial at every stage of growth and
production.

The ZERO CONCORD is the only system that provides stable milking
vacuum at the teat end in parlor or stanchion barn —with a low
or high, short or long, pipeline —and without injecting air into the
milker units to move the milk Only with stable vacuum and no air
injection can you hope to reduce leucocyte counts up to 65% —
increase milk production as much as 20% and prevent off-flavor
and rancid milk
The safe, stable vacuum is made possible by a patented, scientific
principle TWIN-VACUUM whereby one vacuum milks the
cows, and a different vacuum moves the milk through a separate
pipeline into the bulk tank In addition thanks to ZERO’S patented
SPATTER-SPRAY Automatic Washer and new, improved, high-ca
pacity, transparent milker unit —you have built-m, "push-button”,
visible self-cleaning and sanitizing of the entire system— without
disassembling And there are many other advantages
