Hygeia ProBoost Molasses
High energy feed premium quality Molasses offering a natural energy boost & palatable flavour
Molasses Uses
Regarded as a natural feed ingredient for horses, molasses sweetens and increases the palatability of feeds. Comprising of sugars similar to that of forage crops, molasses enhances these feeds, with this being especially evident for hay.
Described as a source of “fast energy”, used in moderation, molasses is ideal for horses of a higher energy requirement. Additionally, molasses is a good source of potassium, a vital constituent for preventing deficiencies and abnormalities in young horses including reduced growth rate, appetite and hypokalemia.
Molasses Benefits
High in digestible energy with a high content of easily fermentable sugars.
High level of degradable protein.
Highly palatable.
Rich in mineral salts, present in a bioavailable form
Ideal to compliment forage diets &improves palatability, increased dry matter intake & milk production.
Adding sugary liquids like Molasses to rations/silage can reduce ration/silage sorting and as a result increase rumen efficiency and ultimately milk yield.
Rumen pH is often found to increase, creating a more efficient rumen environment, resulting in increased fibre digestion and improved forage intakes.
The addition of Molasses can lead to improved milk fat & protein.
