Shproducing milk
s % more efficiently...
and being dewormed
at the same lime
With Agway Baymix,
wormtime isn’t downtime
There's no question that deworming is one of the
keys to efficient milk production. Tests prove that de
worming can improve efficiency up to 5%* through
more profitable production, better feed usage, and
faster calf development.
The question is, how to deworm your herd quickly
and effectively without withholding milk. And the
answer is Agway Baymix Crumbles.
Deworm the whole herd
With most wormers, you have to withold milk if
you administer the wormer to lactating cows. And if
you use the wormer only on dry or fresh cows you
run the almost certain risk of re infection from un
wormed herdmates. But with Agway Baymix
Crumbles you can safely deworm all your cows at
once without withholding milk. That means no
downtime, and reduced risk of reinfection.

Easy and economical
But perhaps the biggest benefit of Baymix is
the convenience. You simply topdress the cow’s
daily ration with one ounce per hundred pounds of
bodyweight for six days. Palatability is excellent,
and there are no stressful boluses or drenches to
administer.
Ask your Agway Store,
Representative or Sales
person for more information
on Agway Baymix Crumbles,
the simple, effective way to
deworm your whole herd, and
boost milk production.
