One of AGRI-KING'S main objectives is to get the inherited production of your livestock relatively trouble free. Why do we say relatively trouble free? Because this is the only way we can get the production out of the animals that the purebred people have bred into them. There is no way we can get this inherited production if our animals are sick. Recent research has shown that all animal sickness if not caused by poor nutrition was at least agrivated by poor nutrition. Most ketosis, mastitis and udder edema are caused by a protein - energy imbalance. Most breeding problems, milk fever. It doesn't take any more feed to feed a cow through her 4th and sth lactations than it does through her Ist and 2nd lactations, but there's a lot more net profit feeding good cows through their 4th, sth and 6th lactation.

DC - A group of 102 Grange mem her* left September 21 from IXUlea airport, here, on a National Agri-Cullural tour to Huaaia The group visited Moscow, Minsk and Leningrad and returned Sept 2* John W Scott, Master of the National Grange, said lime ho* fewer members, but milk deliveries arc way up and the overall stand of the cooperative is very healthy. KEY TO PROFIT cleaning problems and sore feet are caused by an improper balance of calcium, phosphorus, vitamins and trace minerals. The first law of nature is survival, and the second law of nature is reproduction, and reproduction is the number one problem in the dairy industry today. There are more good cows sold because you can't get them bred than any other single reason. Sometimes it can be a mechanical problem but this is rare. It's mostly caused by an imbalanced nutritional program. These are some of the reasons why only 2.5 lactations per cow is our national average. Consequently our better cows never reach their prime production. This is also why the average herd has 25 to 50 percent first calf heifers and turns over 85 to 90 percent of its cows every three years. These are some averages AGRI-KING would like to help the farmer change for the better. There is only one way these problems can be held to a minimum and your cows brought to their peak production. That is to test your roughage and balance your ration according to your tests, the body weight of your cows and their breed. Any other way you cannot get the inherited production relatively trouble free for any length of time. Uncrange.
