Rumen Bypass Protected Fats
Protected fats are added to the diet of ruminants for their high energy content
Goldenflake GoldenFlake is an energy-dense feed which is used to drive milk yield, support butterfat levels, and reduce loss of body condition in early lactation , which in turn, can boost herd fertility. Fats comprise of approximately 2.25 times more energy compared to carbohydrates or protein. Maintaining butterfat levels is one of the main challenges facing milk producers during the grazing season. It is a particular issue for spring calving herds, where cows are also hitting peak yield and need to retain sufficient condition for good fertility. In beef cattle, protected fats can increase the energy density of the diet while minimising the risk for acidosis.
Benefits Allows the energy density of the diet to be increased for high-performing stock without impairing rumen function. Additional energy can be portioned for milk production and improved fertility. Provides the building blocks for milk fat synthesis, increasing value per litre. Simplifies feeding
