ATTENTION:
To save money and
improve milk production
Feed Dairy Special 40XX
The key to efficiency in any dairy feeding
program is getting maximum
performance out of homegrown grains
and roughages while keeping out-of
pocket feed costs down. That’s why
Vigortone developed Dairy Special 40XX
for use in legume hay or haylage rations.
This potent pre-mix contains abundant
phosphorus to balance off the high
calcium content of these roughages and
provides proper levels of other major
minerals, trace minerals and vitamins.
Legume programs are well balanced
with Dairy Special 40XX, and the need
for supplemental protein is much less.
Best of all,-jour cows soon respond to
their full bred-in potential to produce
milk.
