The OPTIMA Dairy Program is designed to optimize production and feed efficiency at any stage of the cow's lactation. SHUR-GAIN's Perfo-Lact Computer Program is a sophisticated computer model that balances dairy cow feed requirements based on amino acid technology. Amino acid technology has allowed SHUR-GAIN to look beyond just balancing for bypass and soluble protein. The amino acids are the building blocks of protein and the amounts and type of amino acids are critical for optimum production in today's modern dairy herd. The Perfo-Lact Amino Acid Computer Program bal- ances rations on a best cost scenario. Different ingredients are utilized based on their value to the program. Some ingredients which appear to be "trendy" may not be used becausé®heir cost/unit amino acid is prohibitive. If an amino acid is limiting, then the best ingredient will be incorporated into the feeding program to provide this amino acid. The key benefit to dairy producers is the ability to customize their dairy ration to their individual forage program. Get the Perfo-Lact Amino Acid Computer Program working for you.

He has experienced good health for several years follow- ing his attack, but a year and a half ago began to feel fatigued and sluggish and knew some- thing wasn't quite right. After a battery of tests, it was discovered he had three blockages that would require bypass surgery. On April 26 of last year he underwent the five- hour surgery at Toronto General Hospital, a procedure which has left him in better shape today then he was years ago, he said. "The worst part of the whole surgery was thinking about it before (I went in)," he said. The surgery kept him pretty much off his feet until September of last year. A vein from his ankle to his kneecap and an artery in his chest were removed, which is customary in bypass surgery. The pain in his leg kept him fairly idle for several months, until he was able to begin a walking regime he still keeps up with today. Today, even though a slight dis- comfort remains in his leg, Mr. Free walks his daily two-mile route through the streets of Prince Albert. V ' HILE WAITING for surgery was hard on his nerves, his wait at the hospital was made easier by a volunteer from the Heart and Stroke Foundation, who was with Mr. Free from the time of admit- tance until the surgery was complete. The man, also a bypass patient, took Mr. Free around the hospital, carried his luggage and went for blood tests with him, which all made him "feel much more at ease," he said. "I can't say enough about the people with the Heart and Stroke Foundation. They are all volunteers doing it," he said. To keep on top of his health Mr. Free has joined the Toronto Rehabilitation Clinic, where he must visit once a week for nine months. Patients are monitored closely at the clinic, where their pulse rate and walking habits are watched. Mr. Free says attending the centre was defi- nitely the right thing to do. He also has received a lot of help through a support group he attended called "Heart To Heart," where other heart patients shared their stories. Airsoven MR. Free did not have any heart attack warn- ing signs or attacks of angina, the one risk factor he did carry was a family history of heart disease. Both his mother and father had suffered from heart disease, with his father also requiring bypass surgery years earlier. He admits he may have led a bit of a risky lifestyle, as a smoker. But as with all heart disease victims, lifestyle changes are necessary if the bypass is to be successful. Mr. Free has quit smoking, is more conscious of the fat in his diet, and exercises daily. The exercise is what he feels has done him the most good. "I can do things now better than I did before. I am not out of breath as easy and I know I can walk a lot better (and far- ther) than I could have before. Maybe that's because my ticker is working better now," he said. February is Heart and Stroke Month and canvassers will be doing door-to-door cam- paigns throughout the township this month.
