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
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

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
