Show Farmers Feed MM Qild By Oalston $m'm Go. ST. LOUIS, MO. (SPECIAL) Following laboratory tests that showed the high efficiency of their Custom Mixing equipment, Farmers' Feed Co-op of Roosevelt, Utah, has been issued a Certificate Certifi-cate of Mixing Accuracy by the Ralston Purina Company of St. Louis Missouri. This certficate qualifies the local feed company, to mix Purina Micro mixed supplements and concentrates concen-trates with farmers' locally grown grains under approved formulas, thus enabling the farmer to make the best feeding use of his grains. Samples of the local feed dealer's deal-er's regular custom mixed feeds were sent to the Company's Research Re-search Laboratory in St. Louis where analyses were made to see how thoroughly the ingredients were mixed. These samples met the high standards of accuracy set by Purina's Custom Mix & Chow-Mix Division, showing a variation of less than one half of one per cent in protein content. Feed mixed to this high accuracy accur-acy has the practical result of insuring the feeder that each ingredient in-gredient of the ration is found in proper quantity in each mouthful of the feed. The proper mixing of rations using grains grown locally lo-cally by farmers in this area has long been recognized as an important im-portant factor in the efficient and economical feeding of livestock and poultry. |
