A BRED SOW^ _ __
JOB: (1) builds her litter (as much
as 25 to 30 lbs. for ten young pigs);
(2) maintains her own body weight;
(3) stores up materials to give a
generous milk supply for her litter.
A “fresh-mix” ration made with
National Sow and Pig Concentrate
provides exactly what she needs —
abundant animal and vegetable pro
tein to build sturdy bodies and
stimulate milk production — extra
minerals for strong bones — and
added vitamins for fast growth. And
it’s so palatable, she’ll eat all she
needs for her triple building task —
and so produce a money-making
litter.
