Early Lactation

Early Lactation

Most cows will have calved and are eating to peak appetite for maximum milk production. Focus on maintaining body condition for improved feed conversion efficiency, reproduction and health

How molasses helps during early lactation

• Helps drive up appetite for maximum milk production
• Maximises rumen function to minimise condition loss
• Improves energy levels before and during mating
• Dilutes excess grass protein
• Balances low pasture sugar and DM% levels
• Blend with Rumensin to aid in the prevention of metabolic issues e.g. ketosis, bloat
