The Agway Dill feeding program gives
these hens rients they need.
And without wasting dollars.
The Agway Daily Nutrient
Intake (DNI) feeding pro
gram gives your birds the
nutrients they need for maxi
mum production at the low
est possible cost. The simple
and efficient DNI system
prevents overfeeding of
expensive protem while ,
meeting your hens’ daily 1
requirements for ammo acids
and other nutnents.
MAINTAINS A CONSTANT
NUTRIENT LEVEL AS
DAILY INTAKE CHANGES.
The idea behind the DNI program
is simple: as feed intake vanes,
change feeds to avoid paying for
more nutation than your birds
require.
Suppose, for example, your flock
is eating 100 grams of feed per bird
daily (22 lbs./100 birds) Under the
DNI program, your feed would be
