A PENNY SAVED IS A... ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY TOTAL $239,625,000 Mon, this impressive figure is the amount swine and chicken raisers in the U. S. save annually by using piperazine worm control. 'Tis a pity that only 75% of the raisers who practice worm control use piperazine and further a pity that only 90% of all the swine and chickens are subjected to any worm control, otherwise the annual savings from piperazine would be more like $355,000,000. And, of course, we're not even including here the savings that accrue to others who use piperazine for worm control, such as raisers of turkeys, pigeons, horses, pets, minks, etc. How does piperazine achieve these tremendous savings? Since becoming commercially available in 1955, piperazine salts have become the overwhelmingly preferred anthelmintics for ridding swine and poultry of round worms. The major savings occur from more efficient feed conversion. Worm-free meat animals or birds do not require as much feed to achieve given weight gains as do worm-infested stock. In birds maintained primarily for production of eggs, healthy hens produce more eggs than worm-infested hens. In horses, house pets and various other animals their general health, stamina, coats, and appearance are greatly improved by piperazine worming. If piperazine is generally accepted as the outstanding wormer, and Jefferson is the world's largest and most experienced producer . . . why do we continue to push it? There are still a few recalcitrants . . . we won't be happy until every swine and poultry raiser in the world is enjoying the benefits of piperazine. Our bonnie friends on the left consider it their "miracle drug." Let us tell you why . . . Jefferson Chemical Company, Inc., P. O. Box 53300, Houston, Texas 77052.
