Agway Fresh Cow Plus TM gives you four benefits that add up to extra profits 1. Tests prove 2.6 lbs 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% 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.
