nfftspaper for those hard to find items t tests have proven 1 that without pure and available minerals livestock can assimilate only up to 80 of the entire feed ration 2 tests have proven that minerals therefore affect the feed value and assimilation of the entire ration up to 20 3 therefore by feeding no mineral or not enough miner als or not a pure and quality mineral the result is a loss of 1 ton feed value for every 5 tons fed this means that for every 5 ton of feed fed to livestock they only utilize and assimilate 4 ton and one ton is a complete loss and waste unfortunately we cant see full feed efficiency and full feed conversion so far as cattle are concerned so easily as we can see a snowstorm or a good rain it is of course easier to see with hogs or poultry but with cattle unless actual experi ments and tests are conducted as has been the case in many research centers the farmer just cant see full feed con version in its complete dra matic form it is nevertheless an established fact and can he accepted as such that pure minerals properly fed affect the feed value and assimilation of the entire ration up to 20 so when pure minerals fully available and assimilat ed by the animal are lacking even slightly feed efficiency goes down and feed costs go up as previously mentioned feed efficiency and feed conver sion are readily seen with hogs for example lefore the days of research in animal nutrition the farmer feeding hog no milk used only his own home grown grains fed his average pigs anywhere from s to 10 months and anywhere from mx to 1200 lbs of feed before mark eting them at 22 lbs today as we all know thanks to scien tific knowledge and antibiotics most pigs should be ready for market anywhere from 5i to 614 and some 7 months of age on not more than 000 to 700 lbs of feed per pig- pig feeders try acme growquick with new wonder antibiotics you will agree its a must for sows as well as raisins pigs although the very same prin ciples hold true concerning feed efficiency and feed conver sion where cattle are involved if the average farmer had the hog picture in view he would certainly feed more minerals to his cattle as well as making sure he was feeding a quality product such as acme the average farmer feeding dairy or beef cattle about 12 to is or 20 cows plus fi to 12 young cattle feeds about 2000 to s300o a year feed hay grains corn ensilage pasture etc which he raises himself this u excluding any of his w prop sup uirera fcedg toi a pure ari fully assimilated by the ani mal can result in a loss of anywhere from 500 to s0o of feed value in a single year the importance and value of feed ing acme is therefore obvious not to feed acme is in fact a disservice to good farm prin ciples and economy farmers are as realistic a group as may be found any where they will and do face reality the reality of the pres ent is unfortunately dellated prices for all farm commodities a carpenter only has to be a good carpenter a bricklayer only a good bricklayer a paint er must only know how to paint to earn their liveli hood farmers are different they are really a special group of people who must possess a varied group of talents and abilities they must be a jack of all trades as well as busi ness men as business men they must use every weapon and every piece of machinery available in order to cut their costs of production acme quality minerals and conditioners are a major wea pon and piece of machinery to cut production costs through better feed efficiency and feed conversion alone they pay for themselves many times over acme quality minerals and condiioners perform and are re sponsible for many many other vital functions which will be taken up in future articles acme quality minerals and conditioners perform and are responsible for many other do certainly reduce the cost of producing milk or beef or pork and therefore increase your profits whatever the prevail ing prices may be for these commodities more than just a mineral acme minerals and condition ers combined fully available and assimilated by the animal with vitamins a and d and cod liver oil and new won der antibiotics in acme
