FLO-STAR'" claw
Bou-Matic®’s Flo-Star™ milking claw I
improves milk flow for:
• Faster milk throughput , and
• Better milk quality. \
Bou-Matic engineers designed the Flo-S.tar claw so milk flows
smoothly and quickly out the bottom.
Less agitation equals less chance of milk “mist” carrying bacteria
among teats. So the Flo-Star claw can mean less mastitis spread at
milking.
Prove it to yourself by calling your Bou-Matic dealer for a
free, on-farm demonstration.

Chore-Time's ULTRAFLO® feeder
can free you from your chains
We have probably been too modest up to now about the merits of our new generation
ULTRAFLO" cage feeder vs. the old style chain feeders some of our competitors are
still trying to sell you. In fact, the only negative comments about our feeder come from
our competition, not our customers. So we would like to point out the bare facts:
FEED SAVINGS On-farm results show a feed savings of 1 1 TROUBLE-FREE DESIGN Our feeder has only two moving
lb per 100 birds per day - over $lO,OOO per year savings parts - the one-piece auger plus each drive wheel, their chain
on a 100.000-bird house Year after year has more Our corners are heavy 12 ga zinc plated tubing for
long life, (heir comers have a reputation for trouble and short life
EASY ADAPTABILITY* Ours adapts easily to
existing cage systems you may already have Or
choose from our wide selection of cage styles
S*YEAR WARRANTY Ours gives you a
s*year warranty on auger and trough Theirs

percentage of their income from parts r
Ours don’t

BILLED-OUT FEED Our auger acts as
a gnd to prevent birds from raking, piling,
and throwing out feed, neither chain or
disk systems prevent feed waste
COST SAVINGS Ours saves vast
amounts of energy costs since it's easier,
to propel and runs only half as long as
theirs
LOW MAINTENANCE With our 5-year
warranty on auger and 20 ga trough (one
competitor has only 22 ga ) - plus no
corner wheel mechanisms to wear out -
ours saves you maintenance costs

HIGRADING OF FEED
Our auger travels at 80 FPM
so birds are limited from eating
until it stops, birds will hi*grade
feed from chain feeders,
causing uneven nutntion
REMIXING FEED* Our auger
slowly revolves, remixing old and,
new feed, theirs leaves most old
feed to gel stale
PROVEN DESIGN Over
10 million birds are already
on our feeder worldwide
Also it was proven in 5 years
of on-farm testing before
