In major dairying areas the most common portion of a lactating cow's
diet is perennial rye grass and or white clover pasture. During winter and spring these pastures are very high in protein relative to readily
available energy, creating a protein energy imbalance. This usually results in high levels of ammonia and then urea in the blood, body tissue and subsequently milk.
Feeding Molafos 'M'' balances the energy protein ratio overcoming problems of urine scald and ammonia smells in the bail.
Rumen modifiers can be added to improve rumen efficiency by providing better utilisation of energy in the feed consumed.
A better balance of essential nutrients often leads to improved conception rates and a reduction in somatic cell counts. Molafos 'M'' is a highly palatable liquid feed which is free flowing and contains a range of essential trace minerals in solution.
Molafos 'Transition' has been designed for cows rested prior to calving. During this period dairymen often spell their dry cows on
pasture and supplement the ration with hay. The feed often does not prepare the cow well enough for their transition to calving, high milk production, grain feeding and a major environment change.
One of the major objectives is to control hypocalcaemia or "droopy cow syndrome" The problem with hypocalcaemia is the supply of
calcium and magnesium being released into the blood stream following calving. Molafos 'Transition'; provides the anionic salts that acidify the blood and precipitate the release of calcium for the lactating cow. Molafos 'Transition' is highly palatable and readily taken by stock in open troughs or licker drums and provides the energy and minerals to help reduce milk fever.
Molafos 'GT' is designed to overcome a shortage of magnesium in feed intake. This usually occurs when cows graze wet pastures. High levels of plant potassium and nitrogen both interfere with magnesium absorption by the animal. The demands of lactation deplete the cow of both magnesium and calcium and the clinical signs are caused by the combined shortage of magnesium and calcium in these cattle.
