presence of molds.
It is important to remember that the
maximum recommended levels of
mycotoxins listed in Table 1 assume
that only the listed mycotoxin is pre
sent. If two or more mycotoxins are
present, they may have an additive ef
fect, dramatically reducing the maxi
mum allowable level of contaminated
forage in the animal’s diet.

fed to lactating, pregnant, or rapidly
growing animals. Dilulting the con
taminated feed with uncontaminated
feed is highly recommended and feed
ing 3-6 ounces of sodium bentonite
per animal per day may reduce the se
verity of the toxin. It is also important
that the attending veterinarian and
your nutritional consultants be
informed of the problem immediately.

seriously, the producer will insure that
feed intake, animal performance, and
long-term health of his valuable beef
and dairy cattle will not be put at risk.

Since 1979 luci^ now Mixer Feeders have been recognized as
one of the most dependable and strongest built mixers in the field.
To enhance its existing line of Mixer Feeders, introduces
the “P” Series of Mixer Feeders with six models ranging in size
from the Model 300 with a mixing capacity of 310 cubic ft., to the
Model 575 with a mixing capacity of 625 cubic ft.
The Large diameter augers in all the “P” Series Mixer feeders are
capable of giving the mix required, from rations with well cured,
long stemmed legume-type hay, to mixes with green grass, and
mixes with silage and commodities. Better milk production, better
weight gains and greatly improved animal health are just some of
the results of a finely-tuned feed ration.
