MOLASSES MEAL

Class: Energy Supplement Registration no. V7264, Act 36/1947 N-FF0666

MASS: 40 kg

COMPOSITION:

Molatek Molasses Meal 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 fibre 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.
• Increases feed intake due to palatability and improved feedtexture 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 inmore energy available for production.
• Increases microbial protein production resulting in moreprotein being available for milk, meat and wool production.
• An excellent energy source on pastures/veld because it has alower pasture replacement effect than grain.
• Prevents dry gallsickness.

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, will contribute to 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.

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.
