- Quality of your forages - Palatibility of your forages - Feeding sequence - Number of times grains are fed - Coarseness of grind Here is a dairyman with a Virginia Tech degree in Dairy Science who trusts Purina to balance his ration. Purina is not trying to take all the credit for the Potts’ success because good breeding, sanitation, forages and management practices are just as im portant as the ration itself. But these folks are convinced that Purina has the best feeds available. TEST COWS MILK R.H.A.

WE BALANCE RATIONS I’ll bet that every feed salesman who pulls into your farm says that. Most any feed company will send you a feeding schedule. BUT IS IT RIGHT? ? ? Some companies send forages to a central lab which sends back a feeding program. The person doing the program hasn’t even seen your farm. Some companies “balance" your program by putting more of their high priced "special" ingredients in your feed. With Purina Mills’ feeds there are no gimmicks, just solid nutritional principles. Protein, energy and fiber make milk and butterfat. Minerals and vitamins play a supporting role. To work you a good program the Purina salesman digs for all the facts to balance vour program for your farm. Only someone trained in dairy nutrition can uncover all of these facts and help your operation be more successful. Your Purina Dairy Representative is Certified by Purina to have been trained in ways to help you. Let Purina experience work for you in your dairy operation today.
