White Oak names Lloyd
director of dairy feeds
ELIZABETHTOWN - White
Oak Mills is offering improved
service to its Cumberland J£alley
dairy customers through the ap
pointment of a Director of Dairy
Sales and Nutrition for the Cum-
berland Valley.
Newville resident Donald E.
Lloyd has been named by White
Oak owners John and Mark
Wagner to head up this expansion
of services. Lloyd, who grew up on
a dairy farm, has spent the last
eight years selling feeds and
service in the area. He joined the
White Oak team because of
“product, price and low
overhead.”
“Everybody has a ton of feed to
sell and every ton has a price
there has got to be something else,
like service,” explains Lloyd. His
first move in his new position was
to institute a weekly route for a
portable mill to service the
customers he has come to know.
Sold on the advantages com
puterization can give to a
dairyman, he maintains a file on
every customer which considers

water-soluble antibiotic for control
of intestinal E. coli (coli-bacillosis)
and other bacterial infections of
swine has been introduced by
Nordan Laboratories. Trade
named ‘Apralan,’ the product is
available as a powder for ad
ministration in drinking water to
weanling pigs. Apralan contains
apramycin sulfate, which has
activity against many types of

Apralan proved highly effective
in university studies involving 360
pigs in herds with E. coli scours
problems. Apralan-treated pigs

herd and the unique needs of each.
He then provides individualized
follow-up. Noting that, “I treat
each farm individually because no
two are exactly alike,” the new
White Oak man insists that service
is what dairy farmers need.
A 1964 graduate of Big Spring
High School, Newville, Lloyd has
received training at the Delaware
Valley College of Science and
Agriculture, Doylestown and
Messiah College, Grantham. He
served ten years with the Men
nonite Central Committee. His
assignments included working as a
food canner, welder and disease
research volunteer as well as
spending three years in Zaire.
Currently servicing Cumberland
and Franklin Counties from his
home, he can be reached at 717 776-
5730 or through the mill toll-free at

“I emphasize field coordinating
of the dairyman’s needs to give
them the opportunity to prosper,”
he concludes.

of more than 3 lbs. at the end of 7
days. Even though medication was
discontinued after 7 days. Apralan
treated pigs weighed 4.9 lbs. more
than untreated pigs at 21 days.
Treated pigs also had a higher
gain-to-feed ration than controls.
For each pound of feed, treated
pigs gained .78 lbs. while untreated
pigs gained only .48 lbs.
Apralan has a high degree of
safety. Studies showed that
multiple doses administered for
extended periods had no adverse
effects in pigs or pregnant sows.
