    1 Probing your dairy farm for belter profits.
As the nutritional conterfr-Qf your cows’ forage
goes, so goes your milk yield ... and its profit
ability. That’s why this forage sampling, is vital to
your farm. It catches the changes in nutritional
content from one of your crops to another... from
one of your fields to another... even from one set
of weather conditions to another. In short, it spots
any nutritional over- or under-balance ... so you
can do something about it.
This forage sampling is a vital part of the PennfteW
Computerized Total Ration Service. And here’s
how it works: 1. We collect samples of your forage.
2. Then we evaluate the quality of your forages.
We determine the total digestible nutrients. The fiber content. The protein
content. The amount of carbohydrates. 3. The computer quickly spots any
nutrients lacking in the fbrage. For your milking cows. And for your dry cows.
It immediately points out the overfeeding of nutrients. Underfeeding, too.
