Figure it for yourself.
You keep milk production up
and feed costs down
with our dairy pre-mixes.
Wouldn’t you like to put some of that money you
spend on commercial protein supplements in your
own pocket?
That’s the goal behind an alfalfa, gram and
Vigortone Dairy Pre-Mix feeding program. It helps
you take maximum advantage of the protein and
energy already in your home-grown feedstuffs.
And legume roughage is a good source of protein;
but it’s low in phosphorus and other nutrients so
important to the needs of all dairy cows.
That’s where Vigortone Dairy Pre-Mixes help.
These potent pre-mixes are specially formulated for
the feeds grown on your farm and contain the
proper amount of phosphorus to balance the
calcium content of your legume roughages.

Vigortone Dairy Pre-Mixes also furnish the
minerals, vitamins and other nutrients so important
to good nutrition and better milk production.
Special ingredients promote proper digestion and
assimilation of rations, so your cows benefit more
from less feed.
Your Vigortone Dealer can help you figure the
energy and protein supplied by your own gram and
roughage. You’ll know from the start how much, if
any, additional protein you’ll need.
Now is the time to compare.
