Ain the dairy business, income over feed cost is ~ , name of the game. Pro-Llx 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,
vitamins, minerals -- everything animals need for economical milk production and growth.
A For replacement heifers, Pro-Llx means faster maturity and assurance that they’ll get to the milking herd
v. 9 on time. If you trust your heifers to forage alone, they might not make it. (Bouvafec Is Available)
6 For lactating cows, the nitrogen content of Pro-Lix means plenty of protein available for milk production
and growth.
a Finally, for dry cows, Pro-Lix not only helps maintain their health dunng 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.
The payoff Is healthier animals and economical production, all year round!
