AGRI-KING'S OBJECTIVE - SHOULD IT BE YOURS?
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.

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.
