SILAGE CONDITIONER PRESERVATIVE and NUTRIENT BALANCER Cl MOPRO 100 LIQUID SILAGE FORTIFIER A revolutionary new concept in improving silages. University tested and proven MOPRO Liquid Silage Fortifier is formulated to balance the major mineral and protein deficiencies of silages. It also prevents Joss from mold and rot after being removed from the silo or trench. MOPRO is added at the time of ensiling and is applied by metering equipment with very little handling cost. MOPRO will not corrode mild steel tanks or brass fittings and has no free ammonia odor to irritate the eyes or skin. MOPRO is a homogeneous solution of ammonia salts, urea, cane molasses, and minerals (except salt and calcium) in an efficient liquid carrier, it provides nitrogen for improved fermentation in the rumen and contains a mineral balance of phosphorous, magnesium, and trace elements. MOPRO 100 will give a resulting silage of up to 14.3% protein. Manufactured By: FURMAN E. HENDRIX, INC. 2115 White Hall Rd.
