Dr. Erskine Cash at Pennsylvania State University recently completed an experiment comparing .
the effect of various supplemental protein sources on the feedlot performance of finishing cattle fed
corn silage.

The performance data above have been gathered from feedlot cattle in Pennsylvania State University research
facilities. Average starting weights were 794 pounds.
It is not a drug or antibiotic (no pharmaceutical effect) and it contains no
“magic” ingredients. It achieves its effect in several well-defined ways. Proven application techniques insure com
plete distribution of the Pro-Sil over every particle of silage.
Pro-Sil increases the overall energy level of silage by (a) reducing CO2 losses, (b) doubling lactic acid produc
tion without increasing acidity, (c) retaining higher soluable carbohydrate levels, (d) reducing secondary fer
mentation losses.

Pro-Sil increases digestible protein of silage to optimum levels
(3)
Each mouthful of Pro-Silage contains all known required nutrients including minerals providing a maximum
efficiency environment for rumen micro-organisms (superior to piecemeal consumption of ration components
throughout the day).
