Base Feeds
Hi-Fibre Feed
Hi-Fibre Feed is a low FEI feed produced from the chemical extraction of oil from palm fruit. It differs from mechanically extracted PKE with a lower oil, but higher protein content.
Nutritional Benefits
Hi-Fibre Feed is ideally suited for periods when pastures are limited and production needs to be maintained and supported with higher levels of supplementary feed. Due to its low impact on FEI, feed rates up to 3 or 4 times that of PKE are feasible.
It is an excellent source of highly digestible fibre and provides higher levels of protein, which is normally performance-limiting during drought periods.
Hi-Fibre Feed is GM-free.
Feeding Recommendations
Hi-Fibre Feed can be fed in the paddock, feed pad, or as a component of in-shed blends. Ruminants will readily switch from PKE to Hi Fibre Feed.
In an on-farm trial, Hi Fibre Feed were fed up to 8kg/cow/day without exceeding FEI levels. The cost advantage vs other feed supplements make it a vital component to manage feed supply risk during droughts. Its higher protein content allows for the partial reduction of other higher priced protein sources.
