Home / Dry Feeds / MegaCow 15

MEGA COW 15 is palm kernel with 15% feed grade molasses and added minerals such as Sodium and Calcium to balance the feed for enhanced animal health.

Molasses gives MEGA COW 15 unsurpassed palatability whilst providing high levels of fermentable energy. It also helps the digestion of the total diet (grass included) compared to feeding straight palm kernel. With high fermentable ME levels, it will help increase appetite and drive rumen speed and output for greater milk production. AgResearch trials show only 51% of PKE is utilised by the cow. Molasses improves PKE digestibility by 37% (relative percentage).

Molasses helps rumen organisms better utilise PKE. MEGA COW 15 is a stable, easily handled product and is not dusty. Custom blends are available depending on farmers specific requirements.

Typical Analysis

– Dry Matter 88%
– Energy (ME) 10.7MJ/KgDM
– Crude Protein 12.8%
– NDF 56%
– Sugar 12.6%
Note: Typical analysis only, not specification.

The low ME of molasses reflects the relatively low protein content of molasses rather than the value of molasses as an energy supplement. Unfortunately, the ME system underrates the value of molasses as a feed. ME fails to recognise the improved utilisation of other dietary nutrients when molasses is fed. Molasses doesn’t directly feed the animal. Molasses feeds the rumen microbes, improving the utilisation of other feeds in the diet. As a result, it is inappropriate to compare molasses-based feeds with other feeds on a ME basis.
