Nutritional Benefits
+
-
Highly Digestible Energy
ME = 33.3 MJ/kg DM
96% digestibility from in vivo studies
Minimise Body Condition Loss with Bypass Energy
Helps fill the energy gap of early lactation to minimise condition lost
Increases energy of diet without increasing acid load in the rumen
Avoid disruption to fibre digesting bacteria in the rumen
Supports Fertility
Grazing study showed a 5% improvement in 6 week in-calf-rate and 9% improvement in conception rate when fed 250g Megalac/cow/day
45% unsaturated fatty acids including oleic acid (C18:1)
Improved energy balance supports fertility and in-calf outcomes
Supports progesterone production to maintain early pregnancy
Increases Milk Production
Improved milk solids production by 4.7% in a study completed on grazing cows offered 250g Megalac/day,
18 additional studies show an average increase of +2.3 litres/cow/day when fed 500g Megalac per day
Increases milk fat percentage
More milk produced per kg of DM intake
Over 13% less methane produced per kg milk produced = more efficient production
