Late Lactation

LATE LACTATION

It is important cows regain body condition whilst milking but before drying off. Milking cows fed molasses will gain weight more efficiently and be better prepared for the next lactation.

How feeding molasses can help

• Maximise days in milk while gaining weight
• Regain lost weight, targeting ‘calving’ condition score at dry off
• Balance high NDF late summer pastures
• Balance Autumn flush, high protein pastures
• Blend with Rumensin® to improve efficiency of cow condition gain
• Blend with zinc oxide for facial eczema prevention
