Multiphase allows you to feed each cow for optimum production. This allows the cow to reach maximum milk production without the, costly waste of over feeding. That means more net profit from SPANGLER & SPRENKLE INC. York, PA 17404 (717)843-8889 each cow every day of the year. mz The Breakthrough People. MAU6ANSVILLE ELEVATOR & LUMBER CO.

Phase 1 □ This is the early lactation period, lasting about 10 weeks During this time, the cow usually cannot physically con sume enough feed to support her peak production. Multi phase dairy concentrate and the appropriate Density Plus Nutrient Pac with the recom mended levels of grain allows the cow to peak at the highest possible level. This is critical to profitability since each additional pound at peak equals 200 pounds over the course of the lactation. Phase 2 per month The appropriate Master Mix Density Plus Nutrient Pac along with Multiphase and grain will help maintain maximum milk production Phase 3 A The cow continues her n&tUraldechne in production during the final 24 weeks of lactation. However, her appetite stays strong, and she can consume more feed than needed to maintain her production level. Feed cost can be cut by keeping feed intake in line with milk pro duction. Density Plus Nutrient Pacs are not normally needed dunng this phase. Proper feeding during Phase 111 minimizes the amount of grain needed during the dry cow penod. Phase 4 |9|x' Proper feeding during this eight week period reduces disorders such as overfat cows, off feed, displaced abomasum, calving difficulty, and retained placenta. For most cows, average or good quality roughage supple mented with the proper amount and balance of minerals is an adequate diet. Cows that are in poor body condition may need additional grain ration to build body reserves. To prepare the dry cow for her next lactation, start feeding the milking ration two weeks before calving. Lead feeding allows the dry cow to adjust more easily to high levels of grain consumption at freshening Do not exceed 1 percent of body weight before calving. © 1981 Central Soya Company, Inc, Fort Wayne, IN 16802 HOLLINGER FARM & HOME SUPPLY Lititz.
