When you shortchange their nutrition, you shortchange yourself. Looking for ways to cut on down on out-of-pocket feed costs without cutting down on milk production? Cutting production costs will backfire if you end up shortchanging your herd’s nutrition in the process. But you can cut those costs safely by feeding homegrown grains and grain silage fortified with the right Vigortone Dairy Pre-Mix. These potent pre-mixes contain the proper levels of vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, and other minerals needed to balance your form’s feedstuffs. Vigortone Dairy Pre-Mixes can be mixed in or metered on any palatable grain or roughage. This lets you change ration content to fit the supplies you have on hand without risking herd performance. Better herd nutrition means a bigger milk check Minimum out-of-pocket feed costs mean more in your pocket. . __ _ _.

Shortchanging your dry cow’s nutrition can be risky too. Most problems dairymen experience in getting cows back in the string can be traced to careless treatment during the dry period. Keep them in top condition until their next lac tation. To help you do it, Vigortone has developed unique dairy pre-mixes specially concentrated for dry cow rations. Now is the time to compare.
