being fed per day, add ½ to 1 lb. of Ultimate
Finish™.
If the above minimum is too many pounds to feed/day, subtract 3 lbs
of Growth and add one pound of Gro 'n Win® or
Gro 'n Win® Alfa /day (depending
on your forage). This will maintain mineral and vitamin
levels while decreasing calories in the total diet.
