It’s no secret
that feed is the
single biggest
cost in producing
pork. That’s why
it pays to make
sure your feed
ing program gets
your pigs to mar-
ket weight in the
shortest possible m ukai pw
time.
From Agway Squealer Pellets
to Agway Pork Finisher, there’s
a farm-tested Agway feed nutri
tionally formulated for each stage
of a pig’s growth. Agway com
plete swine feeds provide all
known nutritional needs, includ
ing energy, protein (ammo
acids), minerals and vitamins.
