Feeding
Suggestions
MagnaFat brand
calcium salts of long chain fatty acids has been designed for use whenever
energy is limiting performance of ruminant rations. Its high content of net
energy for lactation of 2.96 Mcal/lb is ideal for use during negative energy
balance periods such as high milk production, first calf heifer rations,
heat, cold and other environmental stress conditions. The enhanced dietary
energy density gained when feeding MagnaFat can also improve body condition
and reproduction.
MagnaFat should
be fed at a rate of 0.5 to 2.0 lbs per head per day to meet the necessary
energy requirements of high producing cows. As with all ration changes, a
gradual introduction of a new feed ingredient is most beneficial. For
specific recommendations, please contact your nutritional consultant, feed
company representative or MagnaFat distributor.
When formulating
rations containing MagnaFat, keep in mind that levels of protein,
particularly rumen undegradable protein must be consistent with available
energy.
Feed Label
