BOOST SOW MILK PRODUCTION
A.P.A. Inc., manufacturers and distri-
butors of animal health products, an-
nounces EXTRALAC - a product to
improve lactation in nursing sows.
Well-fed newborn pigs are healthier,
grow faster and are more capable of
resisting disease, but it is difficult to
increase the feed supply for baby pigs
while they are still suckling.
EXTRALAC with PROTAMONE in-
creases the milk production of the sow,
making more early rich milk available for
newborn pigs. PROTAMONE is a brand
of Thyroactive Iodinated Casein.
PROTAMONE brand Thyroactive Iodi-
nated Casein is the only Iodinated Casein
product approved by both the Canadian
Food and Drug Directorate and the
United States Food and Drug Administra-
tion, and is the finest in quality with the
highest biological activity.
Tests show that sows fed EXTRALAC
(with Protamone) can be more profitable -
young pigs weighed up to 1/2 Kg more at
weaning; litter mortality was down as
much as 50%; and the average weaned
litter size was up 1.5 pigs.
EXTRALAC can be used as a top
dressing or incorporated into regular sow
feed.

POWER SAVING BARN CLEANER
Reducing friction to save power was a
primary consideration in the design of
the new Free -Stall Barn Cleaner intro-
duced by the Berg Equipment Company.
Wheel -mounted camming devices on
the Berg scraper blade cut friction Toss,
according to Ed Zierke, Berg Sales
Manager. Most of the weight of the
massive scraper is carried on a pair of
rubber -faced cast-iron wheels which
allow the blade to lightly touch the
concrete for thorough cleaning, yet
minimize friction. On the return trip, the
scraper blade cams back into a horizontal
position and rolls easily on a second pair
of steel wheels. Thus, manure drag is
eliminated and friction is again mini-
mized. Power -saving design of the Berg
drive unit also helps coax maximum
power from the smallest -possible electric
motor.
Other features of the Berg Free -Stall
Barn Cleaner include limit switches and
drive chain.
NEW MILK COOLERS FOR CANADA

tured in Canada, the tanks are available

itize seams. All internal piping and
