Mid Lactation

Mid Lactation

In the hot dry heat of summer, molasses fed to cows will improve digestion of high fibre summer pastures and help to maintain body condition and appetite. Increased milk production persistency will lead to extra days in milk.

Why feeding molasses is important

• Maintains milk production persistency
• Improves the feed value of high NDF feeds e.g. PKE, silages
• Maintains appetite and body condition
• Maintains energy levels post mating
• Provides a consistent, reliable and instant rumen bug energy source for improved rumen function
• Blend with zinc oxide for facial eczema prevention

Molasses balancing

Dilute and balance excess NDF fibre in summer pasture, palm kernel and silages to improve fibre (NDF) digestibility.
