    The product is 50% sugars, making it extremely palatable to all stock. Although it is a liquid, it is very high in solids (75%). Ideal for ruminants as it is the simplest form of energy available to stimulate the rumen. It reduces dust in a mixture, aids pelleting and is a good source of minerals.

    Limits to Usage

    It has a high potassium and salt content which can lead to scouring especially in younger animals. High levels of sugar in ruminant rations could lead to acidosis.

    Storage / Processing

    Stores well for up to one year. Will thicken in cold weather, and a blend with condensed molasses solubles (CMS) may be needed to ensure flowability out of a gravity fed tank.

    Material to have been stored in compliance with DEFRA code of practice for the control of salmonella.

    Disclaimer

    Feeding rates are estimates, and other factors, such as animal health and environment, can have a greater impact on how animals perform. There is no guarantee that animals will perform as expected if fed the suggested rates. Rations should be balanced to provide enough energy and protein for animals, and they should include enough forage to keep the rumen healthy. Animals also need access to fresh water at all times.
