In the dairy business, income over feed cost is the 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
C3> 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
V & and growth
* Finally, for dry cows, Pro-Lix not only helps maintain their health during the dry period 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
