IS THERE A DIFFERENCE?
Yes, and it is very important to know the difference.
It is not nearly as important to know how much a ton of feed costs as
it is to know the profit per cow per day over total feed cost, because
that is what you have left to take to the bank.
Many farmers today have been tricked into buying something
without even knowing if they need it. There is only one way to get the
most profit per head of livestock and that is to test what you feed and
feed accordingly. With today’s rising feed costs the dairyman cannot
afford to feed by guesswork any longer. He must know what is in his
silage, hay and grain and make the grain ration according to these
tests, properly balancing the protein & energy, calcium & phosphorus,
vitamins & trace minerals, so that they meet the requirements of
today's cow with high levels of production.
If you would like to know more about the Agri-King way of feeding
cows, please contact your nearest serviceman or wirte to George
