Apple Pomace Makes an excellent buffer feed and can promote the intake of less palatable feeds
Apple Pomace Apple Pomace is produced from pressed apples in the manufacture of apple juice or cider. The remaining pulp is high in digestible fibre and therefore a valuable and nutritious feed. This co-product is an appetising moist feed, ideal for inclusion in ruminant diets as a buffer feed to promote the intake of less palatable feeds. Apple Pomace is an excellent supplement to grass and maize silages when supply is limited or of poor quality.
“The cost of protein such as soybean meal and the various dried distiller products have risen by 30pc in recent times. “This is why a product like Eornagold is a great value alternative to reduce the cost of protein in the diet. “Eornagold moist feed can be fed fresh or pitted and used as part of a buffer diet. It provides increased palatability in the animals’ diet, which helps to minimise sorting, particularly when we are trying to feed fibrous ingredients, such as straw, to protect butterfats. “It is an especially good option for pitting and can save you a lot of money when your requirement for protein increases in autumn.”
