Agway Fresh Cow you four benefits
that add up to extra profits
1. Tests prove 2.6 ibs more milk per
day during the first 90 days
During the first 90 days of lactation your cows
experience their highest levels of stress —stress
that can severely limit production.
However, Agway Fresh Cow Plus can help
minimize stress during this critical time, and
maximize profits. Fresh Cow Plus is formulated
according to the Agway-patented protein solu
bility program, and fortified with the critical
vitamins and minerals your cows need during
early lactation. This special nutritional package
boosted production by over two and half pounds
of milk per day during the first 90 days That
translates to 460 pounds more milk over the
entire lactation
Trials conducted
with 983 cows in
45 Northeastern
herds
2. Reduces cases of cystic ovaries
over 30%
4.4%
Cows fed
Fresh Cow Plus
Fresh Cow Plus also helps minimize another
stress related problem—cystic ovaries. In tests,
cows fed Fresh Cow Plus developed 32% fewer
cases of cystic ovaries than the control group.
That means better reproductive performance
