IM-PRUV-ALL IS A SCIENTIFIC COMBINA
TION OF INGREDIENTS THAT AID NATURE
IN ACHIEVING AN EFFICIENT, RAPID FER
MENTATION OF FERMENTED FEEDS
IM-PRUV-ALL HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO IM
PROVE FERMENTABLE FEEDS. OVER ONE
MILLION TONS OF VARIOUS SILAGES WERE
FERMENTED WITH IM-PRUV-ALL DURING
ITS DEVELOPMENT PERIOD
The following specific IM-PRUV-ALL formulas
have been developed to afford maximum im
provement of different fermented feeds.
#lOl Corn and #H44 Haylage
#202 Legumes
#303 Grasses
In addition to improving standard silages
such as corn, IM-PRUV-ALL makes it possible
to direct cut and successfully ensile alfalfa,
clover, sudan, oats, wheat, sudex, pasture
grasses, beet tops, and others.

FERMENTABLE FEED
Would you like to make more money from the
ALFALFA you grow?
WHAT CAN BE THE ADVANTAGES OF HARVESTING AND STORING ALFALFA AS IM-PRUV-ALL
ALFALFA HAYLAGE OVER BALED HAY ON AN ACRE BASIS?
These projections are based on figures from U.S.D.A., “Feeds and Feeding” by Morrison, “Applied
Animal Nutrition” by Crampton and Harris, Nutritional Bulletins from N.R.C., and Triple S Lab, Inc.
Results will obviously vary in individual cases. Figures for pounds of meat and milk per acre assume
that the alfalfa is being fed in a balanced ration.
