Megalac™
Megalac™ is a highly-proven rumen-protected fat, supplying a concentrated source of energy to support body condition, fertility, and milk production.
Feeding recommendations
Megalac is available in blends or direct to farm in 25 kg bags (one tonne minimum delivery) or 800 kg bulk bags (1.6 tonne minimum delivery).
Nutritional benefits
A concentrated source of energy
Megalac delivers high energy density (33.3 MJ/kg DM) with excellent digestibility (96%), helping to lift overall energy intake without increasing rumen starch load.
Supports body condition at critical times
By helping to bridge the energy gap during early lactation, Megalac supports cows in maintaining condition and reducing liveweight loss when demand is highest.
Improves fertility and in-calf rates
Targeted energy supports reproductive performance, including improved follicle development and progesterone levels, helping to achieve better mating outcomes.
Supports efficient milk production
18 studies showed an average increase of +2.3 litres per cow, per day, when fed 500g of Megalac per day. Trials have also shown improved feed efficiency, with around 13% less methane produced per kg milk.
Rumen-friendly energy source
As a bypass fat, Megalac does not interfere with fibre digestion, supporting rumen function alongside high-performance feeding systems.
Megalac is typically fed at 0.2–0.5kg/cow/day, depending on production targets and stage of lactation.
It is best used:
During early lactation to support condition and peak production
Through mating to support fertility
In high-performance systems where energy demand is elevated
Megalac is available in blends or can be supplied directly on-farm in bags or in bulk.
Feedback from our farmers
"We add 3.5% Megalac to our seasonal blend to assist with herd fertility. Because we calve three times a year, Megalac helps with our in-calf rate."

Feed storage on farm
As with any grain or meal feed, products need to be kept dry, as moisture combined with heat can cause fungi to grow. Common on-farm storage methods are: in a shed or unused fertiliser bin; in a covered pit; on a concrete pad; or in a cutting, covered with a plastic sheet and tyres. Most feed should be used reasonably expediently (within 40 - 50 days). The longer you plan to store feed products, the better your storage facilities need to be.
