We had been troubled with breeding problems, sore feet, and the month before we started with Agri-King we had 5 abortions. No one seemed to be able to find the cause of our problems. In January 1973 Agri-King took samples, information on our herd, and balanced my feeding program. Things were better than before, but not quite like they should be. Agri-King checked the nitrate levels in our roughage and found we had a high level of nitrates. They included Micro XX in our ration. This is a product designed to counteract nitrates. Since using this we no longer have abortions, although we still have the nitrates in our hay. in August of 1972 we had 40.9 lbs. milk per cow per day and 1.6 lbs. fat per cow per day. In August 1974 we had 57.4 lbs. milk per cow per day and 2.73 lbs. fat per cow per day. The cows herd health is much better, our production is higher than ever before, and there’s more money in the bank account.” 17557 Your Neighbor — EARL AND BETTY WEIR RD2, Cochranville, Pa.
