In the dairy business, income over feed cost is . name of the game Pro-Lix liquid feed supplements
offer dairymen the means to maximize this value while getting the most from their cow’s natural abilities
A Pro-Lix liquid feed supplements are concentrated sources of just what ordinary feeds lack protein, energy,
(g) vitamins, minerals -- everything animals need for economical milk production and growth
A For replacement heifers, Pro-Lix means faster maturity and assurance that they’ll get to the milking herd
(d) on time If you trust your heifers to forage alone, they might not make it (Bouvatec Is Available)
A For lactatmg cows, the nitrogen content of Pro-Lix means plenty of protein available for milk production
vs) and growth
a Finally, for dry cows, Pro-Lix not only helps maintain their health during the dry penod it prepares them for
/\ the next lactation The Ca P ratio in Pro-Lix helps control milk fever, while the Vitamin E and selenium aids
in clean-up after the birth of a calf
The payoff is healthier animals and economical production, all year roundl
