    Introducing
Master Mix Multiphase™ concentrate.
The answer to today's efficiency questions.
Once again Master Mix*
brings you a new answer
to the age-old question
of how to boost the
efficiency of the dairy
cow.
Simple, flexible,
and profit-making, the
answer camejust in time,
because today more
than ever you need a
feeding program that
squeezes more net pro
fit from your cows.. to

Nothing could be
simpler for phase feed

you to feed each cow for
optimum production.
This allows the cow
to reach maximum milk

Higher efficiency at every
phase for high net profit.
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.

During this phase, milk pro
duction begins to decline, feed
intake peaks and the cow’s
body weight stabilizes The
cow is still producing at a high
level and her nutritional needs
remain high. Shorting her
nutrient needs would cause
her milk production to drop
faster than the normal 10%
