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.
• A rich source of minerals, trace elements and especially B vitamins in a highly absorbable form.
• High-quality molasses in an easy-to-use liquid form.
• Reduces the dustiness of the diet, therefore increasing feed intake.
• Serves as a good binding agent for feed that is to be pelleted.
• A versatile, palatable product that has the texture of feed. It increases feed intake, leading to increased mass gains in feedlots and increased milk 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:

• 1.5 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 1,5 kg of Molatek Liquid Molasses per day to help supplement protein deficiencies.

Cattle, sheep and goat Feedlots:

• Use up to 20% Molatek Liquid Molasses in cattle rations and up to 12% in sheep and goat rations to make it more palatable, contribute to the energy and bind dust.
• Rations mixed with Molatek Liquid Molasses assist the adaptation of animals.

Dairy farms:

• Up to 12% Molatek Liquid Molasses can be mixed into dairy cattle and calf rations.
• Makes rations mixed on farm more palatable ensuring higher intakes.
• Molatek Liquid Molasses-based rations can largely satisfy the energy requirements of young animals.

Game:

• Include 5-10 % Molatek Liquid Molasses in complete and semi-complete game diets to increase palatability and therefore intake.

On-farm feed Pelleting:

• Molatek Liquid Molasses can be included at 4–8% in the pelleting process as a binding agent.
