Product Options
Standard Blends
A rich source of 6-Carbon sugars shown to improve rumen fermentation in dairy cows. Highly palatable and proven to increase dry matter intake. Trial work has demonstrated that molasses can improve fibre digestion and overall digestive efficiency which can help support higher levels of milk production and milk fat yields. The fermentation of 6-Carbon sugars in the rumen directly leads to an increase in the production of milk fat precursors.

Sugar Plus Glycerine
A high energy liquid readily fermentable in the rumen, also known as glycerol and obtained as a co-product from biodiesel production. Sweet and highly palatable combined with cane molasses to supply multiple energy sources in a dairy cow ration. Glycerine is gluconeogenic meaning it stimulates glucose production which is key for effective metabolism leading to improved animal performance. Glycerine is also a glucose precursor when absorbed in the intestine, being particularly helpful to support high milk production in the first 100 days of lactation.
