Description
Molatek Molasses Meal (40kg) is made up of 75% high-quality molasses (high brix) absorbed on 25% sugar cane pith. It is high in energy making it suitable for a wide variety of rations.
ADVANTAGES:
-
- Given the synergistic effect of sugar with other starches in increasing animal production it is a good replacement for 10 – 20% of grain in rations.
-
- Can provide some of the fiber needed in rations when roughage is in short supply.
-
- A rich source of minerals, trace elements and especially B vitamins in a highly absorbable form.
-
- Easily mixed ensuring high-quality molasses in a manageable form.
-
- Reduces the dustiness of the diet, therefore increasing feed intake.
-
- Serves as a good binding agent when making pellets.
-
- Molatek Molasses Meal (40kg) increases feed intake due to palatability and improved feed texture resulting in increased production.
-
- Has no negative impact on rumen pH as in the case of starch.
-
- Increases fatty acid production in the rumen resulting in more energy available for production.
-
- Increases microbial protein production resulting in more protein being available for milk, meat and wool production.
-
- An excellent energy source on pastures/veld because it has a lower pasture replacement effect than grain.
-
- Prevents dry gallsickness.
APPLICATION:
Horses:
-
- Two kg per horse per day, together with good quality pasture or roughage, supplies an excellent energy ration.
-
- On poor quality pasture or roughage, provide half a kilogram of sunflower or soya bean oil cake in addition to the 2 kg of Molatek Molasses Meal (40kg) per day to help supplement protein deficiencies.
Cattle, Sheep and Goat Feedlots:
-
- Use up to 24% Molatek Molasses Meal in cattle rations and up to 15% in sheep and goat rations to make it more palatable, contribute to the energy and bind dust.
-
- Rations mixed with Molatek Molasses Meal assist in the adaptation of animals.
Dairy farms:
-
- Up to 15% Molatek Molasses Meal can be mixed into dairy cattle and calf rations.
-
- Makes rations mixed on-farm more palatable ensuring higher intakes.
-
- Molatek Molasses Meal-based rations can largely satisfy the energy requirements of young animals.
Game:
-
- Include 6 to 12% Molatek Molasses Meal in complete and semi-complete game diets to increase palatability and therefore intake.
Production and Maintenance Licks:
-
- Molatek Molasses Meal can replace grain completely in all on-farm lick mixes.
On-Farm Feed Pelleting:
-
- Molatek Molasses Meal can be included at 4 – 10% in the pelleting process as a binding agent.
